Estimate the perimeter of the figure to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The perimeter (to the nearest integer) is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper half of this figure is a triangle with height 3 and base 6.  If we divide this vertically we get two congruent triangles of height 3 and base 3.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find the length of the diagonal of one of these small triangles:  (diagonal)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2, or (diagonal)^2 = 2*3^2.

Therefore the diagonal length is (diagonal) = 3√2, and thus the total length of the uppermost two sides of this figure is 6√2.

The lower half of the figure has the shape of a trapezoid.  Its base is 4.  Both to the left and to the right of the vertical centerline of this trapezoid is a triangle of base 1 and height 3; we need to find the length of the diagonal of one such triangle.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get

(diagonal)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2, or 1 + 9, or 10.  Thus, the length of each diagonal is √10, and so two diagonals comes to 2√10.

Then the perimeter consists of the sum 2√10 + 4 + 6√2.

which, when done on a calculator, comes to 9.48.  We must round this off to the nearest whole number, obtaining the final result 9.

If one gallon is the same amount as 4 quarts, how many quarts are in 5 gallons?
wlad13 [49]
If one gallon = 4 quarts
Then 5 gallons = x quarts

To solve this we can set up a porportion

1/4 = 5/x

To solve the porportion we need to find the rule so how to we get to 4 from 1? Well we can multiply 1 by 4 to get one right?

So if this is true, 1 x 4 = 4 then 5 x 4 must equal x

5 x 4 = 20 so the answer would be 20 quarts are in 5 gallons

Another way to look at this is that you have 5 gallons and in each gallon is 4 quarts to if there is 4 quarts in every one gallon then that’s just 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 or 5 x 4

I hope this helps! <3

So i
