Question

Due: Today Raven told Micah the perimeter of the swimming pool was 35 feet, the dimension of the pool were 5 ft by 7 ft. Micah said the perimeter was 24 feet. Who is correct? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Micah

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Raven told Perimeter of the swimming pool is $35\ ft$

Micah said Perimeter is $24\ ft$

The actual dimension of the swimming pool is $5\ ft\times 7\ ft$

Perimeter is given by  $2(l+w)$

Using this, the perimeter is

$\Rightarrow P=2(5+7)\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 12=24\ ft$

$\therefore$ Micah statement is correct.
