youcubed HEART (Area and Perimeter)

How do you figure out the area and perimeter of the shape … if the measurements are not indicated?

You could work with symbolic measurements. The perimeter is comprised of only two different lengths; pick names for them.

For example, such an answer for the perimeter of the youcubed logo would look like:

Perimeter = 4A + 2B

where symbol A stands for the length of the longer segments and symbol B stands for the length of the shorter segments.

Or, if you prefer working with numeric values, you could use a ruler.

As for the area, there are different approaches.

Three different shapes comprise the area. A symbolic answer for the area of the logo could look like:

Area = 2 L-Shapes + 1 Diamond + 2 Triangles

Or, you could divide the logo differently than they have -- it can be divided into a rectangle and two isosceles triangles, for example -- so that you could pick names for the length and width of the rectangle; then use formulas for the area of the triangles and the rectangle.

Code: 
[FONT='inherit']

         / \
      /       \
   /             \
/                    \
----------------------
|                    |
[/FONT][FONT='inherit']|                    |[/FONT][FONT='inherit']
----------------------
\                    /
   \              /
      \        /
         \  /


[/FONT]

Or, again, you could use a ruler.

Once you've worked out the logo, you can apply that information to the entire shape.

Have fun growing your brain! Cheers :cool:
 
SOUnds like it shouldn't be too hard. Thank you for the help!:D
