Question

A rectangle has length 127.3 cm and width 86.5 cm, both correct to 1 decimal place. Calculate the upperbound and the lowerbound for the perimeter of the rectangle. pls answer fast. i need all the workings.

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct to 1dp

127.3 cm = 127.0 cm

86.5 cm = 87.0 cm

Upper limits:

127.0 cm = 127.05 cm

87.0 cm = 87.05 cm

Lower Limits:

127.0 cm = 126.95 cm

87.0 cm = 86.95 cm

upper limit of perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2(l+w)

= 2(127.05 + 87.05)

= 2(214.1)

= 428.2 cm

lower limit of perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2(l+w)

= 2(126.95 + 86.95)

= 2(213.9)

= 427.8 cm

therefore;

$427.8 cm \leqslant perimeter < 428.2cm$
