Question

What is the perimeter of the dinning room? Perimeter is distance around the room, rounded to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

To answer this question, we will use the following formula to determine the perimeter of the dining room:

`P=2w+2l,`

where w is the width and l is the length.

Substituting w=9 feet and l=10feet 8 inches=, we get:

`P=2(9ft)+2(10ft8in)=18ft+2(10ft+(8)/(12)ft)\text{.}`

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`P=18ft+20ft+(16)/(12)ft=38ft+(16)/(12)ft=(118)/(3)ft\text{.}`

Answer: The perimeter is 39.33ft.
