If i have a figure that has 4 inches for the base and height and 12.56 for my total circumference. My total is28.56 feet am i correct . Thanks.
What kind of figure?
Total what?
It is an composite figure a 2 semicircle and a rectangle shape figure with four inches on each side
To determine if you are correct, let's break down the calculations step by step:
1. First, let's convert the 4 inches to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so dividing 4 inches by 12 gives us 0.33 feet.
2. Similarly, let's convert the height of 4 inches to feet. Dividing 4 inches by 12 gives us 0.33 feet.
3. The total circumference of your figure is given as 12.56. It's important to note that the circumference is the distance around the outside of a shape. In this case, it would be the perimeter of the figure.
4. To calculate the perimeter, we can use the formula P = 2 * (base + height). Plugging in the values, we get P = 2 * (0.33 + 0.33) = 2 * 0.66 = 1.32 feet.
5. Now, let's compare the calculated perimeter of 1.32 feet to your stated total of 28.56 feet.
Since the calculated perimeter is significantly smaller than your stated total, it seems that there might be an error in the calculation or conversion. Double-check your calculations and units to determine where the discrepancy lies.
Please note that I have assumed the figure you described is a rectangle since you mentioned a base and height. Let me know if you were referring to a different shape.
