a garden has width �ã13 and length 7�ã13. whats the perimeter of the garden in the simplest radical form
a) 14�ã13 units
b) 16�ã13 units
c) 91 units
d) 8�ã13 units
Is �ã13 supposed to mean √13 ?
Is the garden a rectangle?
If so, isn't the perimeter just the sum of the 4 sides?
Is �ã13 supposed to mean √13 ?
yes and yes
So let's just add them up
√13 + √13 + 7√13 + 7√13
= 16√13
BTW, I get the square root sign on my PC by holding down the Alt key and while it is held down, on the number pad I pres 251, then release the Alt key
There are many such symbols that you can create that way, just try different combinations and make yourself a list.
To find the perimeter of the garden, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides of the garden.
In this case, the width of the garden is 13√13 and the length of the garden is 7√13.
The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is: 2(length + width).
Plugging in the values, we get:
Perimeter = 2(7√13 + 13√13)
Simplifying the expression inside the brackets, we have:
Perimeter = 2(20√13)
Now, multiply 2 by 20 to get:
Perimeter = 40√13
Therefore, the perimeter of the garden in the simplest radical form is 40√13.
Out of the given options, the correct answer is:
d) 8√13 units.
