Question

5) The sides of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 1:2:3:6. The perimeter is 138 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

The first side is 11.5cm, the second is 11.5cm×2 = 23cm, the third is 11.5cm × 3 = 34.5cm,

and the fourth side is 11.5cm × 6 = 69cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is a 4 sided shape, while perimeter is the addition of all the sides of the quadrilateral. Since the sides of the quadrilateral is not stade, assume the sides of the quadrilateral is x, therefore 1:2:3:6 = x:2x:3x:6x. The total ratio is x+2x+3x+6x=12x, therefore 12x= 138 , x = 11.5cm, Therefore the first side is 11.5cm, the second is 11.5cm×2 = 23cm, the third is 11.5cm × 3 = 34.5cm, and the fourth is 11.5cm × 6 = 69cm.
