Question

What is the perimeter of the figure?

A. 229 4/9 ft

B. 229 2/3 ft

C. 230 2/3 ft

D. 231 ft

Answer 1

Perimeter means adding up all sides so just add up all off the sides.

Answer 2

First add the whole numbers and tell me what you get. Aka \[\large \sf 60+59+56+54\]

Answer 3

Add them all up.

Answer 4

C. 230 2/3 ft

Answer 5

229

Answer 6

Now add the fractions together \[\large \sf (\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{6})+(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3})\]

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 6}\]

Answer 8

and \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 9

So 6/6 is 1, so you can just add \[\large \sf 229+1\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 10

so it would be C 230 2/3 ft?
