Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve problems like this, always recall the "Two-Tangent theorem", which states that two tangents of a circle are congruent if they meet at an external point outside the circle.
The perimeter of the given triangle = IK + KM + MI
IK = IJ + JK = 13
KM = KL + LM = ?
MI = MN + NI ?
Let's find the length of each tangents.
NI = IJ = 5 (tangents from external point I)
JK = IK - IJ = 13 - 5 = 8
JK = KL = 8 (Tangents from external point K)
LM = MN = 14 (Tangents from external point M)
Thus,
IK = IJ + JK = 5 + 8 = 13
KM = KL + LM = 8 + 14 = 22
MI = MN + NI = 14 + 5 = 19
Perimeter = IK + KM + MI = 13 + 22 + 19 = 54
Answer:
Dezias' pensil is 5.11-1.09=4.02 inches long
Paul's pencil is 4.02+2.05=6.07 inches long
Miguel's pencil is 5.11+1.75=6.86 inches long
Combined are 5.11+4.02+6.07+6.86=22.06
The fraction is 22.06/12=1.8383333...
