Question

A community park is installing a new swimming pool. Use themeasurements in the diagram below to determine the perimeter of thenew pool.5 ft5 ft9 ft19 ft5 ft5 ft28 ft

Answer 1

To calculate the perimeter we have to add all the sides of the polygon:

`P=5+5+19+28+5+5+9+(28-5-5)=94`

There is one side that does note have a explicit length, but we can calculate its length because it is equal to the largest side (28 ft) less two sides of length 5 ft.

The perimeter of the pool is 94 ft.
