Answer:
57kg
Explanation:
We need to find the length of each piece of metal:
We already know that 2 of them are 6m and 8m and this would be the same for the pieces of metal opposite.
So we have four lengths - 6m, 6m, 8m, and 8m
To find the last length, we need to use pythagoras theory
a² + b² = c² where c is the slanted side, or the diagonal
6² + 8² = c²
36 + 64 = 100
c² = 100
c = √100 = 10
So the five lengths are 6m, 6m, 8m, 8m, and 10m and the total is 38m
If:
1m = 1.5kg
38m = ?kg
We have to multiply both sides by 38
1m × 38 = 38m
1.5kg × 38 = 57kg
So, the total weight of metal in the frame is 57kg
