22. Investigate Perimeter of Polygons Perimeter Side 1 Side 2 Side 3 Side 4 4 ft How is this problem different from the first problem?There are no units showing inside of the square, but the dimensions are given. 4 ft 4 ft 4 ft

23. Investigate Perimeter of Polygons Perimeter Side 1 Side 2 Side 3 Side 4 4 ft Identify the units for this square. Feet 4 ft 4 ft Describe the sides of the square. They are all equal. 4 ft

24. Investigate Perimeter of Polygons Perimeter Side 1 Side 2 Side 3 Side 4 P = 4+4+4+4 = 16 feet 4 ft 4 ft 4 ft 4 ft 4 ft Identify the measure of each side to find the perimeter of the square. 4 ft 4 ft 4 ft

25. Investigate Perimeter of Polygons The shape is a: Side 1 Side 2 Side 3 Side 4 Square Perimeter P = 6+6+6+6 = 24 m 6 m 6 m 6 m 6 m In this problem, we don t have a picture, but we have dimensions. How can we find the perimeter? Add all of the dimensions given to find the perimeter of this square.

26. Missing Sides Perimeter Side 1 Side 2 Side 3 P = 12 m 3 m 5 m How is the problem different from the other problems? The perimeter is given, but we are missing a side. 5 m 3 m ___ m
