31. In the preceding figure, if each small square is 2 inches in length, what is
the perimeter of the shaded area?
A. 20 inches
B. 24 inches
C. 40 inches
D. 48 inches
E. 60 inches
Mark in the diagram as you start counting from the lower left-hand corner. As you
go around the outside of the shaded region, your markings can help you make sure
that you don’t miss a side. You should have 20 numbered sides in the perimeter.
But remember, each side is 2 inches long, so multiply 20 # 2 = 40 inches. The correct
answer is C.
