Find the total distance around this figure. Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the tenth, if necessary.

Question

It's a rectangle with a length of 60m and a height of 20m. What is the total distance around it?

Answer 1

Perimeter of the rectangle is 2(60+20) = 160 meters

But "around" the figure probably meant a circle around the rectangle

make the center of the rectangle be the center of the circle

graph it, with one point on the circle being the corner of the rectangle

(10,30). the distance from the origin to (10,30) is the radius

x^2 + y^2 = r^2

10^2 + 30^2 = r^2

r^2 = 1000

r = 10sqr10

Perimeter of the circle is the circumference = 2rpi = 2(10sqr10)(3.14) = 198.6
