Question

To store his new packing cubes, Bobby sections off an area of a storage room. He puts 4 cubes length-wise and 2 cubes width-wise.

What is the perimeter of the space, in cm?

What is the area of the space, in cm²?

Width = 34cm
Length = 34cm
Height = 34cm

​

Answer 1

The perimeter of the space is the sum of all the sides.

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

Substitute the given values:

Perimeter = 2 * (34cm + 34cm) = 2 * 68cm = 136cm

So, the perimeter of the space is 136cm.

The area of the space is found by multiplying the length and width.

Area = Length * Width

Substitute the given values:

Area = 34cm * 34cm = 1156cm²

So, the area of the space is 1156cm².
