Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

  • 3 rectangular cards
  • each card is 8 inches by 9 inches

The way that she can arrange the cards, without overlapping, to make one larger polygon with the smallest possible perimeter is that:

Put 3 cards together according to the length

So  the smallest possible perimeter is:

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 = 66 inches as you can see in the attached photo.

The area of the polygon is equal to the combined area of the 3 cards without overlapping or extending.

Hope it can find you well.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

7 7/12 pounds of fruit

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add all of the whole numbers

2 + 1 + 3= 6 (save for later)

then find a common denominator between the fractions which is 12

1/3 = 4/12

5/6 = 10/12

4/12 + 10/12 + 5/12 = 19/12 or 1 7/12

now, add 1 7/12 + 6 to get you 7 7/12

hope this helps
