Question

Use the diagram to estimate the perimeter, rounding each number to the nearest hundred.

A parallelogram is shown. Two sides are labeled 5,534 feet. The other two sides are labeled 1,566 feet.


14,200 feet


16,000 feet


14,400 feet


14,000 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

14,000 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram has 4 total sides and the opposite sides are characterized as having the same length. Therefore, If we are provided the lengths of two adjacent sides we can easily calculate the perimeter by multiplying these provided lengths by 2 and then adding them together. Since we are asked to round each number to the nearest hundred, it would be the following...

(5,500 * 2) + (1,500 * 2) = x

11,000 + 3000 = x

14,000 = x

Finally, we can estimate that the perimeter of the parallelogram is 14,000 feet.
