Answer:

  66 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the measures of <em>all</em> of the sides. There are two side measures that are missing from the diagram.

The missing horizontal measure is ...

  17 m - 8 m = 9 m

The missing vertical measure is ...

  16m -7 m = 9 m.

If you add these to the sum you already calculated, you will get the correct answer:

  48 m + 9 m + 9 m = 66 m . . . perimeter of the figure

_____

If you're paying attention, you see that the sum of the measures of the two shorter horizontal segments is the same as the measure of the longer horizontal segment. Likewise, the sum of the measurements of the two shorter vertical segments is the same as that of the longer vertical segment.

In other words, the perimeter of this (and any) L-shaped figure is the same as the perimeter of a rectangle having the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as the long sides of the figure.

  P = 2(17 m +16 m) = 2(33 m) = 66 m

If you follow is rule : P(x,y)>180° rotation>P'(-x,-y). the negative signs doesn't mean to make it negative but to change it to the opposite sign. If it's positive it goes to negative. And if it's negative is goes to positive. The rotated image would have the points: (1,2) (4,4) (3,7)

The length of a rectangle is 2x – 3 feet, and the width is 5 feet. What is the area of the rectangle in square feet?
dimaraw [331]
The area of a rectangle is length times width or base times height

so 5 times 2x-3

if you multiply them together 5(2x-3) you would get 10x-15

there is no value of x

so the area would be 10x-15ft^2
