Question

Calculate the perimeter of this figure to the nearest tenth. p=? ft. It's a rectangle with a triangle. 10 and 8 are on the rectangle, and 8.9 and 4 are on the triangle.

A) 27.1 ft
B) 32.9 ft
C) 30.7 ft
D) 29.1 ft

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of the figure, calculate the perimeters of the rectangle and triangle separately and then add them together. The correct answer is A) 27.1 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the perimeter of the figure, we need to find the sum of all the sides.

The rectangle has sides of length 10 ft and 8 ft, and the triangle has sides of length 8.9 ft and 4 ft.

The perimeter of the rectangle is found by adding twice the length and width together (2(10 ft + 8 ft) = 2(18 ft) = 36 ft).

The perimeter of the triangle is found by adding the lengths of all three sides together (8.9 ft + 4 ft + 8.9 ft = 21.8 ft).

Finally, we add the perimeters of the rectangle and triangle to get the total perimeter of the figure (36 ft + 21.8 ft = 57.8 ft). Rounding to the nearest tenth, the perimeter is approximately 57.8 ft.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) 27.1 ft.
