Chapter 0.5, Problem 10E

To determine

To find: The perimeter of the given figure

Answer to Problem 10E

The perimeter of the figure is $2\frac{14}{16}\text{inch}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  

Calculation:

The objective is to measure all sides of given figure and find the perimeter.

Figure is reproduced with dimensions marked as shown below.

  

Perimeter is the distance around a figure and it can be calculated by adding lengths of all sides in case of 2-D figures.

So to get the perimeter of this figure, find the sum of all sides,

  $\frac{16}{16}+\frac{16}{16}+\frac{7}{16}+\frac{7}{16}=\frac{46}{16}\text{inch}$

Change this fraction into mixed fraction, the required perimeter is $2\frac{14}{16}\text{inch}$ .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the required perimeter is $2\frac{14}{16}\text{inch}$ .
