Question

what is the perimeter of the apartment? 36 ft. 150 feet 162 feet 22 ft. 40 ft. 152 feet 151 feet 16 ft. 20 ft.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify side - lengths

The side - lengths of the apartment are 36 ft, 40 ft, 20 ft, 16 ft, 22 ft. We also need to find the remaining horizontal and vertical sides. The horizontal side parallel to the 36 ft side: \(36-(20 + 16)=0\) (this is correct as it should fit the shape). The vertical side parallel to the 40 ft side: \(40 - 22=18\) ft.

Step2: Sum up all side - lengths

\[P=36 + 40+20 + 16+22+18\]
\[P=(36 + 40)+(20 + 16)+(22 + 18)\]
\[P = 76+36 + 40\]
\[P=152\]

Answer:

152 feet
