Answer:

Your answer is A). 13,500

Explanation:

1,495+5,244=6,739

Then Your gonna add 6,739 like this

6,739+6,739=13,479

If you round the answer to the nearest hundred you get this

13,500

Because 479 is almost to 500 so u round it to 500 which is y u get 13,500

13 Stays at 13 because it is an even number

Hope this helps

Estimating the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5244 ft and breadth 1495 ft, the rounded result to the nearest hundred is approximately 13,400 ft, obtained by adding twice the sum of the length and breadth. (option C)

To estimate the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5244 ft and breadth 1495 ft, you add up all four sides:


\[ P = 2 * (\text{length} + \text{breadth})

P = 2
* (5244 + 1495)

P = 2
* 6739

P = 13478

The estimated perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 5244 ft and breadth of 1495 ft is approximately 13,400 ft, rounded to the nearest hundred. This estimation is calculated by adding twice the sum of the length and breadth.

Rounding each number to the nearest hundred, the estimated perimeter is 13400 ft. The correct answer is option C.
