Suppose a kite has a 3:2 ratio. If the perimeter of the kite

is 40 inches, what are the lengths of the sides.

2x

3x

2x + 2x + 3x + 3x = 40
10x = 40
x=4

Fundamental Properties of Area

Vocabulary
Area -

The measure of space covered by a 2-dimensional region.

Vocabulary
Square Units - The fundamental region used to tessellate a region in order
to find its area.

Area Postulate
a. Uniqueness Property
Given a unit region, every polygon region has a unique area.
b. Congruence Property
Congruent figures have the same area.
c. Additive Property
The area of the union of two non-overlapping regions is the
sum of the areas of the regions.
d. Rectangle Formula
The area of a rectangle with dimensions l and w is lw
A = lw

l
s
A (area) = s 2
P (perimeter) = 4s

A (area) = lw
P (perimeter) = l + l + w + w
= 2l + 2w
= 2(l + w)

A = 49 ft

The figure given is a square. Find the length of the sides.

I will need 100 tiles to cover my room.
How much will I spend if each tiles costs $1.50?
$150.00

The perimeter of a rectangular yard is 550 ft. With the width 5 feet shorter
than the length. What is the length of each side?
Let length = x

Let width = x - 5

P = 2(l + w)
550 = 2(x + x - 5)
550 = 2x + 2x - 10
550 = 4x - 10
560 = 4x
140 = x
The length will be 140 ft and the width will be 135 ft.
