Answer:

A unit of measurement is a specific magnitude of a certain quantity that is specified and recognized by convention or legislation and is commonly used as a standard for measuring the same kind of quantity. We would randomly confuse the computations if the unit system was not given to the measurements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: If someone wrote 200 as a response to a question on a piece of paper. But You neglected to mention the measuring units. Anyone can mistake it because there are no units written apart from the number (unit less). Complications multiply. It's impossible to say whether it's 200 m or 200 g. 200 milliliters? 200 kilometers, 200 seconds, or 200 meters? It's possible to guess anything. We should always utilize units to be specific about the answer to any problem. This will assist in narrowing down the approach to any challenge and providing a measurable linked quantity regarding the topic in question.

What is the perimeter, in units, of polygon UVWXYZ? Enter your answer in the box.
nikitadnepr [17]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The perimeter of the polygon UVWXYZ.

Solution:

All sides and vertical and horizontal. So, we can easily find the side lengths of the given polygon by counting the boxes between two points.

From the figure it is clear that,

UV = 9 units

VW = 2 units

WX = 3 units

XY = 3 units

YZ = 6 units

ZU = 5 units

Now, perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

Perimeter=UV+VW+WX+XY+YZ+ZU

Perimeter=9+2+3+3+6+5

Perimeter=28

Therefore, the perimeter of UVWXYZ is 28 units.
