Question

Helen's house is located on a rectangular lot that is1 1-8 miles by 9/10 mile.Estimate the distance around the lot

Answer 1

Answer: The distance around the lot is 81/20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular lot:

Perimeter = 2 width x 2 length

Replacing with the values given

P = 2(1 1/8) + 2( 9/10) = 9/4 + 9/5 = 81/20

The distance around the lot is 81/20 miles.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer 2

Answer: The distance around the lot is given by

$4\frac{1}{20}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of rectangular lot is given by

$1\frac{1}{8}\\\\=\frac{9}{8}\ miles$

Width of rectangular lot is given by

$\frac{9}{10}\ mile$

We need to find the distance around the lot.

As we know the formula for "Perimeter of rectangle":

$Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\\\Perimeter=2(\frac{9}{8}+\frac{9}{10})\\\\Perimeter=2(\frac{45+36}{40})\\\\Perimeter=2\times \frac{81}{40}\\\\Perimeter=\frac{81}{20}\\\\Perimeter=4\frac{1}{20}\ miles$

Hence, the distance around the lot is given by

$4\frac{1}{20}\ miles$
