PQRS is a square. Imagine that it can be folded.
P is folded onto Q.
Then Q. is folded onto R.
If the perimeter of PQRS is 2,
what is the perimeter of the new figure?

it should be folded in half and then get your answer 2 divided by 1
i have no idea, cus how could yiu fold Q onto R? i judt can't vidulize it.
each side of the square must be .5 and on the new figure the bottom is .5
daniel try folding a piece of paper to visualize it
If its .5 on each, then how do you divide it again is it like, .25 or something?
I agree with gavriella... i folded a piece of paper, P onto Q, then Q to R and it gives you a .5 perimeter.. i THINK
i agree as well, also its folded into a triagle which is half the perimeter of the square...is that right??
In my opinion, the answer is 1.
If you follow what the directions say it doesn't even make a square so i don't know
it is .5 i forgot do the last part of it
i think it is .5 also because you divide 2 by four because the new shape is a forth of the original square
so each side starts out as 0.5, and when you follow the directions then each side is 0.25.
...at least thats what i got.
I still think that the answer=1 because in the end each side =.25.
AND .25 multiplied by 4 = 1.
In the 1st folding, the width divides by 2 and in the 2nd folding, the length divides by 2 because PR and QS stay the same way they are during the 1st folding.
So, during the 1st folding, PR + QS are= .5 until the after the 2nd folding.
I agree with Ethan Solomon. The new shape is a fourth of the square so you divide it by 4. Then you get .5
If the perimeter of PQRS is 2, and PQRS is a square, then at the beginning, each side must be .5. If you fold the square in half, you get a rectangle, .25 by .5
If you fold the rectangle in half along the other axis, you get a square .25 by .25. The perimeter of the figure must then be 1. (.25+.25+.25+.25)
and if the perimeter of PQRS is 2, there is no way that each side will be 1... 1+1+1+1 is 4... that is twice what the perimeter should be...
Also, Camellia and Ethan S.- That method would work IF this problem talked about area. Then you would be able to divide the square by 4.
folding q on to r would not make it a square because you are folding it diagonally
if you fold the side Q S then i agree with ben
Noah, if you fold Q to R after you fold R to S, then you are folding Q to S because R is on top of S.
I think the answer is 1 also because when you fold it the first time you dividethe width by 2. So you have .25 by .5 and the when you fold it agian. so you divide the length by 2. so you have .25 by .25 so then the perimeter is
1(.25+.25+.25+.25)
i think once you fold q onto r it makes a square 1 4th of the size of the first square so divide 2 by 8 because there are 4 sides and you fold it 2 times so i believe the answer is 1
noah once you fold p onto q r folds onto s to make a rectangle thats y it makes a square
i think i get it now, but i'm still not sure about the folding Q onto R.
how is it possible to fold q on r after folding p on q
i think it is .5 because you take 2 and divide it by two twice
i get it its just folding it in half. like when you fold P-Q its also folding R to S
and so on. i got each side being 1/4!

and so on. i got each side being 1/4!
wait, each side starts out at .5 and then you fold it and once you do that each side becomes .25?

i took a paper adn folded it like the thing said. each side must be .5 becase 2 divided by 4 is .5 and yeah so i think its .5 becaue u just divide the original perimeter by 2 twise
Isn't it divided by 4 because its in half twice
I don't really understand the problem, because how can you fold Q to R after folding P to Q?
I tried folding it with a paper, but it wouldnt fold equally
I think you could do 2 divided 4 becasue it's folded in half twice.
GREAT!
The perimeter is 1. You are correct in your discussions and observations.
The answer is .5 because when you fold P to Q you get 1 per side and then when you fold Q to R you get half of one which gives you 0.5
When P is folded onto Q you get a rectangle. When Q is folded onto R you get a square with each side equal to 1/4. So the perimeter is 4(1/4)
