6-96.

Copy the diagrams of algebra tiles below on your paper. Then find the perimeter of each shape.

  1. 1 horizontal, x, tile, with 1, x, squared tile attached at the bottom, and 1 unit tile, attached to the right side of the, x, tile.

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.
What is the value of each side?

Now, add up all the sides to find the perimeter.

The same diagram, with the sides labeled as follows, starting at the upper left, going clockwise: x, 1, 1, 1, x, x, x, 1.

Simplify, and the perimeter is .

  1. A row of two vertical, x, tiles and 1, x, squared tile.

Refer to part (a).

The same diagram, with the sides labeled as follows, starting at the upper left, going clockwise: 1, 1, x, x, x, 1, 1, x.
