Two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips and two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips are used to form a rectangle. What is the Perimeter of the rectangle?
I have no idea mabby 1+2 bec it 3
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
Given:
Two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips
Two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions for easy calculation:
2 1/2 = (2 * 2) + 1/2 = 5/2 inches
5 1/3 = (5 * 3) + 1/3 = 16/3 inches
Now, let's add up the lengths of the sides:
2 * (5/2) = 10/2 = 5 inches (since there are two 2 1/2 inch strips)
2 * (16/3) = 32/3 inches (since there are two 5 1/3 inch strips)
Finally, let's calculate the perimeter by adding up all four sides:
Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 32/3 + 32/3
= 10 + 64/3
= (30/3) + 64/3
= 94/3 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 94/3 inches.
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
First, let's calculate the lengths of the sides using the given measurements.
For the two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips, we can convert 1/2 inch to a decimal by dividing 1 by 2, which equals 0.5. So, the length of each of the 2 1/2 inch plastic strips is 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 inches.
For the two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips, we can convert 1/3 inch to a decimal by dividing 1 by 3, which equals approximately 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places). So, the length of each of the 5 1/3 inch plastic strips is 5 + 0.33 = 5.33 inches.
Now that we have the lengths of all four sides, we can calculate the perimeter by adding them together.
Perimeter = Length of Side 1 + Length of Side 2 + Length of Side 3 + Length of Side 4
Perimeter = 2.5 inches + 2.5 inches + 5.33 inches + 5.33 inches
Perimeter = 15.66 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle formed by the plastic strips is 15.66 inches.
