Question

A climbing structure needs to be built in the shape of a square-based pyramid. Look at the diagram below. What is the perimeter of the flat, orange shape? PLEASE HELP A GIRL OUT

Answer 1

40 m

Explanation:

The perimeter of the flat, orange shape is the sum of all the sides that forms a boundary around the shape.

The shape is made up of 4 triangles having 2 equal side lengths each, which surrounds the center square.

Each side length of the triangle, that forms a boundary round the shape = 5 m.

There are 8 of this equal side length.

Perimeter = 8(5m) = 40 m
