A piece of square 6 x 6 origami paper was folded as shown below. The area of the whole square paper was 36 in.² how can you determine the perimeter in the area of the shaded piece that has been folded over? describe clearly and completely your method of finding the perimeter in the area as well as your answers to both.

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your question. To find the perimeter of the shaded piece of origami paper, we need to first find the area of the shaded piece. Since the area of the whole square paper is 36 in², we can use that information to find the area of the shaded piece.

The shaded piece is a 6x6 square, so its area can be found by multiplying its length and width:

Area = length x width = 6 x 6 = 36

Now that we have the area of the shaded piece, we can find its perimeter by adding up the lengths of all its sides. Since the shaded piece is a square, all its sides are equal in length. Therefore, the perimeter of the shaded piece is:

Perimeter = 4 x side length = 4 x 6 = 24

So, the perimeter of the shaded piece of origami paper is 24 inches.
