Rectangle ABCD is subdivided into two identical square regions. If the area of each square is 
, what is the perimeter of ABCD ?
Rectangle ABCD is subdivided into two identical square regions. If the area of each square is
Given that the area of each square is 
, the side length of each square is 
. To find the perimeter of the entire shape, one must add up the lenghts of the sides of the shape. Thus the sides of the rectangle are each 
, and the bases are 
(because the squares are connected). Adding them all together gives us 
.
Given that the area of each square is

feet. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
A rectangle has a width of
Recall that perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of a shape. Thus, we are adding up all sides of the rectangle. A rectangle has two sides that are the length and two sides that are the width. Thus,
feet.
Perimeter is a measure of length, and not area (or square feet), so our units are just feet.
