Question

A pyramid has a square base that is 160 m on each side. What is the perimeter of the base in kilometers? Question 19 options:

Answer 1

0.64 kilometres

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the perimeter in metres

Perimeter of square = 4 x (Length)

Perimeter = 4 (160)

Perimeter = 640 metres

Step 2: Convert from metre to kilometre

1 km = 1000 m

x km = 640 m

Cross multiply

1000x = 640

x = 0.64 kilometres

Therefore, the perimeter of the square base is 0.64 kilometres.
