Hi Jason, let's find the perimeter of this quadrilateral step by step.
Finding the Perimeter
First, take a look at the diagram. Notice that each of the four sides has a single tick mark on it.
In geometry, these matching tick marks tell us that all four sides are congruent, meaning they have the same length.
Since we are given that one side is eight inches, we know that every side of this shape is eight inches long.
The perimeter of a shape is the total distance around its boundary. We calculate it by adding the lengths of all sides together.
