Question

Plz help me! Find the perimeter of the shape

Answers and the shape are in the picture

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be 12.4 the first choice.

Answer 2

=12.4 units

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find the lengths of EF, FG, and HE

(GF)²=(ΔX)²+(Δy)²

(GF)²=(2--1)²+(4-3)²

=3²+1²

=10

GF=√10=3.16 units

(EF)²=(Δx)²+(Δy)²

=(2--1)²+(6-4)²

=3²+2²

=9+4

=13

EF=√13=3.61 units

(HE)²=(Δx)²+(Δy)²

=(-1--3)²+(6-3)²

=2²+3²

=4+9

=13

HE=√13=3.61 units

GH=(-1--3)=2 units

Perimeter =GF+EF+EH+HG

=3.16+3.61+3.61+2

=12.38 units

=12.4 units to 1 decimal place.
