Option B:
The perimeter of ΔABC is 28 units.
Solution:
AD = 5, DC = 6 and AB = 8
AD and AE are tangents to a circle from an external point A.
BE and BF are tangents to a circle from an external point B.
CD and CF are tangents to a circle from an external point C.
<em>Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.</em>
⇒ AD = AE, BE = BF and CD = CF
AE = 5
AE + BE = AB
5 + BE = 8
Subtract 5 from both sides.
BE = 3
BE = BF
⇒ BF = 3
CD = CF
⇒ CF = 6
Perimeter of the polygon = AE + BE + BF + CF + CD + AD
= 5 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 5
= 28
The perimeter of ΔABC is 28 units.
Option B is the correct answer.
318/2=159
159-74=85
the length is 85 yards
Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet
2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3 12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4 The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.
3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3 P= 31 5/6 feet
4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.
5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.
5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7 You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.
