Answer 1

Answer:

57kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the length of each piece of metal:

We already know that 2 of them are 6m and 8m and this would be the same for the pieces of metal opposite.

So we have four lengths - 6m, 6m, 8m, and 8m

To find the last length, we need to use pythagoras theory

a² + b² = c² where c is the slanted side, or the diagonal

6² + 8² = c²

36 + 64 = 100

c² = 100

c = √100 = 10

So the five lengths are 6m, 6m, 8m, 8m, and 10m and the total is 38m

If:

1m = 1.5kg

38m = ?kg

We have to multiply both sides by 38

1m × 38 = 38m

1.5kg × 38 = 57kg

So, the total weight of metal in the frame is 57kg
