Question

Alex is planning to surround his pool ABCD with a single line of tiles. How many units of tile will he need to surround his pool? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To my understanding,

I think you take the base times the Height

so,
\[2.24\times5=?\]

That should answer your question.

close but he wants to go AROUND the pool. so you would need parameter not area.

Answer 4

To my understanding, it will still be 2.24x5=?

Answer 5

Yeah. Perimeter is what you're trying to solve for, so you'd need to multiply the equal lengths of 2.24 by 5.

Answer 6

its 11.2, but if we are rounding, then it would be 10.48 because thats the closest right ?

Answer 7

Yes, I would guess that.

Answer 8

So for peramiter you want b+b+h+h. all your sides plus each other.
so it would be 5+5+2.24+2.24

Answer 9

14.48, s when you round it its gonna be 13.42

Answer 10
