On Earth, the Lithosphere is best described as the outer part of the Earth which includes the crust and upper mantle.

<h3>Where does the Lithosphere exist?</h3>

The Lithosphere is the part of the Earth that we are on. It consists of the crust and the upper mantle.

It is above the mantle and is made up of pieces called tectonic plates that are constantly in motion.

It is these tectonic plates that the continental crust rests on. This is why continents are said to be shifting. Oceanic crusts are also part of the lithosphere and are more denser.

The Lithosphere is approximately 62 miles thick which is quite thick but not as thick as the mantle which is about 1,802 miles thick. The core is even thicker as it is separated into two parts - inner core and outer core.

quester [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The complete question is shown below.

The length between two points ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and ( $x_2,y_2$ ) is:

$Length=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

From the image attached we can get the polygon points as:

A(-5, 5), B(0. 5), C(4,2), D(1, -2), E(-2, -2), F(-5, 2). Hence the length of the polygon is gotten as:

$|AB|=\sqrt{(0-(-5))^2+(5-5)^2}=5\ yards \\\\|BC|=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(2-5)^2}=5\ yards \\\\|CD|=\sqrt{(1-4)^2+(-2-2)^2}=5\ yards \\\\|DE|=\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(-2-(-2))^2}=3\ yards\\ \\|EF|=\sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2+(2-(-2))^2}=5\ yards \\\\|FA|=\sqrt{(-5-(-5))^2+(2-5)^2}=3\ yards$

The perimeter of the fence is the sum of all the sides of the polygon = 5 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 26 yards
