The figure is drawn on centimeter grid paper. Find the perimeter of the shaded figure to the nearest tenth.

Answer:
Option A. 17.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Now if we redraw the figure as figure attached.
Rectangle ABCD can be divided in three triangles
Now we apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔAED to get the measure of side DE
DE = √(7² + 3²) = √(49+9) = √58 = 7.62 cm
Now we apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔCDF to get the measure of side DF
DF = √(4²+ 3²) = √(16+9) = 5 cm
Now we calculate the perimeter of EBFD
Perimeter of the shaded figure = mEB + mBF + mFD + mDE
= 1 + 4 + 5 + 7.6 = 17.6 cm
Therefore Option A. 17.6 is the answer.

1) The first thing we need to do is to find the total number of visitors. This is going to be our Sample Space
31+26+2=31+28=59 Visitors altogether
2) The next thing to do is to find the favorable event. Note that we can see that 26 people purchased only one costume.
3) The final and last step is to find the probability, so we can write out the following:
Thus, this is the answer: 0.90
