Question

Due: Today Raven told Micah the perimeter of the swimming pool was 35 feet, the dimension of the pool were 5 ft by 7 ft. Micah said the perimeter was 24 feet. Who is correct? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Micah

Explanation:

Given

Raven told Perimeter of the swimming pool is
`35\ ft`

Micah said Perimeter is
`24\ ft`

The actual dimension of the swimming pool is
`5\ ft* 7\ ft`

Perimeter is given by
`2(l+w)`

Using this, the perimeter is

`\Rightarrow P=2(5+7)\\\Rightarrow P=2* 12=24\ ft`

`\therefore` Micah statement is correct.
