Question

Note: Figure is not drawn to scale.If a = 5 m, b = 7 m, c= 9 m, and d = 2 m, what is the perimeter of the swimming pool?A.20 mB.32 mC.29 m D. 34 m

Answer 1

SOLUTION

The diagram below can help us answer the question

Perimeter is the distance around a plane shape. We are told that side c is 9meters and side d is 2meters. So the other side becomes

$9-2=7meters\text{ }$

And the other, 7 - 5 = 2 meters

The perimeter becomes

$\begin{gathered} 5+2+2+7+7+9 \\ =32\text{ meters } \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 32 meters, option B
