This was given to 10 year olds.

Can you answer it?
>>
>>8128664
the top is 44

I dont' know how to do the bottom unless that 2cm label is labeling the small vertical length. In which case the answer for the bottom one is also 44
>>
>>8128664
First one is 44cm

Second one is also 44cm
>>
[eqn]P=44[/eqn]
>>
>>8128664
Both 44cm
>>
I'm actually getting 43.84cm, did you guys use paint or a different program to measure the lines? I can put a ruler up to my screen if it will help.

t. every first year mech eng opening this thread

>>8128840
Pictures not drawn to scale. Use maths alone to figure it out.
>>
>>8128941
I think you missed a bit of sarcasm there, kiddo
>>
>>8128669
>>8128670
>>8128695
i didn't even know it was solvable :3
>>
Not enough data for second shape

>>8128664
you cant answer because the lengths of all the sides arent given
>>
>>8129075
Yes there is
>>
How do you work out the first one?

Even if it's not to scale, how are you supposed to solve this? I'm stumped.
>>
>>8129110
Nevermind, thought it was area the question was asking for
>>
These aren't solvable. I hope that's obvious..
>>
>>8129115
For the first one, think about what the two unlabelled vertical lengths must add up to, likewise with the horizontal.
>>
>>8129056
think what happens if you start moving the lines.
>>
>>8129115
Vertical lines add up to 24 (12 + 12)
Horizonal lines add up to 20 (10 + 10)
Total, 44cm
>>
>>8129119
whoops like this guy >>8129118
I thought it was asking area.
>>
>>8129120
you cant know what the unlabeled sides are unless you measured them retard
>>
>>8129128
As the title says, they're "rectilinear shapes" so the 2 unknown verticals will equal the known vertical, retard.
>>
>>8129128
If all the angles are right angles, which they are obviously supposed to be, then you can.
>>
Wouldn't the second one be 42?
>>
>>8129138
You gotta add the 2cm twice dawg
>>
>>8129146
You're right, I'm dumb.
>>
>>8129135
>>8129135
wrong. the title didnt say that the lines are parrelel. try again kid.
>>
>>8129152
Pls don't bait

>everyone assuming euclidean metric

Plebs get out!
>>
>>8128664
i must apply monte carlo method and hope for the best
>>
No matter how we cut rectilinear shape, we always get the same perimeter as it was full

No

>>8128664
i didnt know so i wanted to read whole thread to learn how and im even more confused. fuck you 4chan. fuck you math
>>
>>8128840
I know people who actually do this.
they disgust me
>>
>>8129250
It's just 9 and 11 twice plus 2 twice for the extra bit

44

Literally primary school level
>>
>>8129250
>>8129549
Oh yeah, the 2cm is the short vertical distance btw

Otherwise it is unsolvable but it's a children's question so it's not going to be that.
>>
>>8128664
I didn't read the question correctly and tried to solve for area. . .

Am I retarded /sci/?
