Akiyo is designing a bird house with a symmetrical roof, as shown in the diagram. What is the total width of the bird house?
To find the total width of the birdhouse, we need to determine the width of one side and then multiply it by 2 (since the roof is symmetrical).
In the diagram, the width of one side is represented by the distance between points A and B. Looking at the diagram, we can see that the distance between A and B is 5 meters.
So, the width of one side of the birdhouse is 5 meters.
To find the total width, we multiply the width of one side by 2:
Total width = 5 meters × 2 = 10 meters
Therefore, the total width of the birdhouse is 10 meters.
