OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answers aren't matching up >_<

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

So, is the question just to determine the perimeters for both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Okay. Here we go:

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

JK = 5 units KL = sqrt.18 = 4.242640687 = 4.24 units LH = sqrt.26 = 5.099019514 = 5.1 units HI = sqrt.41 = 6.403124237 = 6.4 units IJ = sqrt.18 = 4.242640687 = 4.24 units Total = 24.98742513 = 25 units (rounded) I didn't use the distance formula, in case you're wondering- I counted the overs & ups (x & y) distances for each segment, making little triangles, and did Pythagorean theorem.

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Is that close to what you got??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for which one did u do the math for? the first one?

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Yep! :)

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

You okay with what I did there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the same thing but its not in the options >_<

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Damn...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25.8 units 26.1units 27.5 units 28.6 units

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Rage! Idk man, no idea. Take it you teacher, and ask about it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. and what about the second one?

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

RS = sqrt.20 = 4.472135955 = 4.47 ST = sqrt.13 = 3.605551275 = 3.61 TU = sqrt.17 = 4.123105626 = 4.12 UQ = sqrt.73 = 8.544003745 = 8.54 QR = sqrt.29 = 5.385164807 = 5.38 Total = 26.12996142 = 26.13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i love how the answer for this is one of the options for the other question. wtf. lol

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Is the answer to the FIRST by chance in the options for THIS second.. (?) :)

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

And yeah... Wtf is quite appropriate in this situation.... Gay retricemath :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25.8 units 26.1units 27.5 units 28.6 units these are the options for this question

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

Huh. Well, at least we get something, lols.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright. lets bs these answers with an educated guess. lol XD so what should we put for the first one?

OpenStudy (amonoconnor):

I'd say, if going that route, just a, 25.8, because it's closer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 2nd?
