Question

You plan to design a set for a play, but you need to know the exact perimeter of the stage for your border design. Using the graphic, determine the perimeter of the stage in terms of feet.

Answer 1

To find the perimeter, you need to add up the lengths of all sides of the stage.

From the graphic:
- The top side of the stage measures 52 feet.
- The right side of the stage measures 44 feet.
- The bottom side of the stage measures 52 feet.
- The left side of the stage measures 44 feet.

Perimeter = 52 + 44 + 52 + 44
Perimeter = 192 feet

Therefore, the perimeter of the stage is 192 feet.
