9.2 Perimeter and Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Objective: Students find the perimeter and area of triangles and trapezoids.
Using Perimeter O Find the missing measurement when the perimeter is 92 cm. 48 cm 14 cm 20 cmd P = d 92 = 82 + d = d d = 10 cm
Multi-Step Application Step 1: Find the length of the third side. Step 2: Find the perimeter of the field. O A farmer wants to fence a field that is in the shape of a right triangle. He knows that the two shorter sides of the field are 20 yards and 35 yards long. O How long will the fence be to the nearest hundredth of a yard? P = a + b + c 20 yds 35 yds P = P = The fence will be about yards long.
