Mathematics Knowledge
Yesterday I presented a question on perimeter.
What is the perimeter of a heptagon if the measure of one side is 4?
Finding perimeter is one of the skills that I remind my students to learn for the ASVAB. Mathematics Knowledge is the section of the test that involves learning formulas for geometry. I remind my students of the importance of knowing how to find perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume. Knowing the formulas makes a big difference in the score on the Mathematics Knowledge section of the test. I tell my student that they do not need to remember any formulas for perimeter. Just add up the lengths of all the sides. Today’s question asks about the perimeter of a heptagon. A heptagon is a seven-sided shape. Each side measures 4.
If there are 7 sides and each side measures 4, the perimeter is 7 x 4 = 28.
The perimeter of this heptagon is 28.
Did you know how to solve this problem?
