Dividing of cells a sample problems of geometric
progression. Given that the intial number of cells is 40, then it will double
every 20 minutes. Within 7 hours the cells will divide into w by 21 times. So the
number of cells after 7 hrs is 4,194,040 cells.

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.
