Quadrilaterals
Solve the following problems with the help of your activity 8 which includes useful
plane geometry formulas. Show the figures for each problem and make your solution a
step by step process(if possible include remarks for each step).
1. The length of a side of a square is increased by 100%. Its perimeter is increased by:
a. 25% b. 200%
c. 100% d. 300%
Let;
P = perimeter
x = length of each side
P (square) = 4x
y = increase percentage

P (1st box) = 4x
P (2nd box) = 8x

8 x = 4 x + 4 xy
4 x = 4 xy
y=1

1 ⋅ 100 = 100

2. A man measuring a rectangle "x" meters by "y" meters makes each side 15% too
small. By how many percent will his estimate for the area be too small?
a. 23.55% b. 27.75%
c. 25.67% d. 72.25%
Let;
A = area
A (rectangle) = length x width = xy
A1 = area without constraint
A2 = area with constraint
z = percentage for the area to be too small

A1 = xy
A2 = ((x - 0.15 x)) ((y - 0.15 y)) → A2 = 0.7225 ⋅ x ⋅ y
solve , z
x ⋅ y = ((x - 0.15 x)) ((y - 0.15 y)) + x ⋅ y ⋅ z ――→ 0.2775
z = 0.2775
z = 27.75

3. A piece of wire of length 52 cm is cut into two parts. Each part is then bent to form a
square. It is found that total area of the two squares is 97 sq.cm. The dimension of the
bigger square is:
a. 4 b. 9
c. 3 d. 6
