Find the perimeter of the figure given below:
Advertisements
Solution
We know that, perimeter is the sum of all sides
Perimeter of the given figure = AB + BC + CD + DA
= (5x – y) + 2(x + y) + (5x – y) + 2(x + y)
= 5x – y + 2x + 2y + 5x – y + 2x + 2y
On combining the like terms,
= 5x + 2x + 5x + 2x – y + 2y – y + 2y
= 14x + 2y

To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
- We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
- We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13)
