Answer:
83 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached diagram shows the lengths of the midlines to be 3.16 and 5.10 units on the coordinate plane. The sum of these is (3.16 +5.10) = 8.26 coordinate plane units. Since each unit on the coordinate plane represents 10 m, the total path length is about ...
8.26(10 m) = 82.6 m ≈ 83 m
_____
The distance formula will tell you the distances are ...
AC = √(3² +1²) = √10
BD = √(5² +1²) = √26
The total path length is about (10 m)(√10 +√26) ≈ 82.61230 m ≈ 83 m.
