The perimeter of the polygon to the nearest tenth of a unit  \boxed{16.9{\text{ units}}}. Option (b) is correct.

Further explanation:

The distance between the two points can be calculated as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Distance}}=\sqrt {{{\left( {{x_2} - {x_1}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{y_2} - {y_1}} \right)}^2}}}

Given:

The coordinates of the vertices of the polygon are \left({ - 2, - 2}\right),\left( {3, - 3}\right),\left( {4, - 6}\right),\left( {1, - 6}\right) and \left( { - 2, - 4}\right).

Explanation:

Consider the points as A \left( { - 2, - 2} \right), B\left( {3, - 3} \right), C\left( {4, - 6} \right), D\left( {1, - 6} \right) and  E\left({ - 2, - 4} \right).

The distance between point A and point B can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&=\sqrt {{{\left( {3 + 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 3 + 2}\right)}^2}}\\ &= \sqrt {25 + 1}\\&= \sqrt {26}\\&= 5.2\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point B and point C can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&=\sqrt {{{\left( {4 - 3} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 6 + 3} \right)}^2}}\\&= \sqrt {{1^2} + 9}\\&= \sqrt {10}\\&= 3.17\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point C and point D can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&= \sqrt {{{\left({1 - 4} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 6 + 6}\right)}^2}}  \\&=\sqrt {{3^2} + 0}\\&= \sqrt9\\&= 3\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point D and point E can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&= \sqrt {{{\left( { - 2 - 1}\right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 + 6}\right)}^2}}\\&= \sqrt{ - {3^2} + {2^2}}\\&= \sqrt {9 + 4}\\&= \sqrt {13}\\&= 3.61\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point E and point A can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}} &= \sqrt {{{\left( { - 2 + 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 + 2} \right)}^2}}\\ &= \sqrt {{0^2} + {2^2}}\\&=\sqrt4\\&= 2\\\end{aligned}

The perimeter of the polygon can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Perimeter}}&= 5.12 + 3.17 + 3 + 3.61 + 2\\&= 16.9\\\end{aligned}

Option (a) is not correct.

Option (b) is correct.

Option (c) is not correct.

Option (d) is not correct.

The perimeter of the polygon to the nearest tenth of a unit \boxed{16.9{\text{ units}}}. Option (b) is correct.

What is the square root of 72 simplified
Ket [755]

Answer: 6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 × 9 is 72.

8 can be simplied to 4 × 2.

And 4 can be simplified to 2 × 2.

So far there are three 2s and a 9.

9 can be simplified down to 3 × 3.

Theres a pair of 2s and a pair of 3s, so you multiply 2 × 3 and thats 6 so you put 6 on the outside of the radical. Theres one 2 leftover from all the simplifying so that goes inside the radical to give you 6√2
