Question

In the figure to the right, AE+DC= 1 1/5 m, AB=1 3/4 cm, DE=1 1/4 cm, and BC =1 3/10 cm. Find the perimeter of the figure.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5 1/2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the given lengths (in cm):

  P = (1 1/5) +(1 3/4) +(1 1/4) +(1 3/10)

  = (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) +(2/10 + 3/4 + 1/4 +3/10)

  = 4 + 1 5/10

  = 5 1/2

The perimeter of the figure is 5 1/2 cm.
