Answer:
A. 14.2 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 1.9 + g
Let's find g.
a = 1.9 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point of a circle are congruent)
b = 3.4 - 1.9 = 1.5 in.
b = c = 1.5 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)
d = 3.6 - 1.5 = 2.1 in.
d = e = 2.1 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)
f = 3.7 - 2.1 = 1.6 in.
f = g = 1.6 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)
✔️Therefore,
Perimeter = 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 1.9 + 1.6 = 14.2 in.
