In this question the given information's should be closely noted. The
length and width of the perimeter are already given. Based on those
information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Length of the rectangle = 2 1/2 inch
= 5/2 inch
Width of the rectangle = 5 1/3 inch
= 16/3 inch
Then
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( Length + Width)
= 2 [(5/2) + (16/3)]
= 2 [ (45 + 32)/6]
= 2 * (77/6)
= 77/3 inch
= 25 2/3 inch
So the perimeter of the rectangle in question is 25 2/3 inch. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
Answer= 70.7 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Elise walks diagonally from one corner of a square plaza to another. Each side of the plaza is 50 meters.
Since we know that diagonal of a square is product of side length of square and . So we will find diagonal of our given square plaza by multiplying 50 by .
Therefore, diagonal distance across the plaza is 70.7 meters.
These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.
There are three right triangles.
From the big right triangle:
a^2 + b^2 = 25^2
From the small right triangle on the left side:
(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2
From the small right triangle on the right side
x^2 +10^2 = b^2
=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2
=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2
=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2
=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0
Use the quadratic formular to find the roots:
x = 2.1 and x = 47.9
Distance from back: 25 - 2.1 = 22.9 ft
Answer: 22.9 ft
