Question 5 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

Quadrilaterals WXYZ and BADC are congruent. In addition, WX―≅DC― and XY―≅BC―. If AD is equal to 4 cm and AB is equal to 6 cm, what is the perimeter of WXYZ ?

Answer
A
18 cm
B
22 cm
C
20 cm
D
24 cm

Explanation

Since WXYZ is congruent to BADC in that order, WX corresponds to BA and XY corresponds to AD. Thus WX = 6 cm and XY = 4 cm. The given equalities make the other two sides, YZ and ZW, equal to 6 cm and 4 cm, respectively. The perimeter is 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm, so the correct choice is 20 cm.
