How to find a perimeter of a whole diagram
To find the perimeter of a whole diagram, you need to add up the lengths of all the sides of the shape. If it is a polygon, add the lengths of all the sides. If it is a circle or curved shape, you can use the circumference formula to find the total perimeter.
For example, if you have a rectangle with sides of 5 and 8, the perimeter would be:
Perimeter = 2(5) + 2(8)
Perimeter = 10 + 16
Perimeter = 26
So the perimeter of the rectangle is 26.
To find the perimeter of a whole diagram, follow these steps:
1. Identify the shape of the diagram: Determine whether the diagram consists of a single shape or multiple shapes combined.
2. Measure the sides: If the diagram consists of a single shape, measure each individual side of the shape. If there are multiple shapes, measure all the sides of each shape.
3. Add up the measurements: Add up the measurements of all the sides to calculate the total perimeter.
4. Double-check for missing sides: Make sure you haven't missed measuring any sides or included any unnecessary measurements.
5. Label the perimeter: Once you have found the total perimeter, label it with the appropriate unit of measurement (e.g., cm, inches).
By following these steps, you will be able to find the perimeter of the entire diagram.
