Question

now that youve selected a desired shape, you begin to sketch some different designs, making sure that its size isnt too small or too big. you decide to make a quadrilateral such that two of its sides measure 15.75 cm, one side measures 4.5 cm, and the other side measures 12 cm. what will be the perimeter of the quadrilateral you designed? 39.00 cm 32.25 cm 48.00 cm 43.95 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter $P$ of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four - sides. Let the side lengths be $a = 15.75$ cm, $b = 15.75$ cm, $c = 4.5$ cm, and $d = 12$ cm.

Step2: Calculate the sum

$P=a + b + c + d=15.75+15.75 + 4.5+12$.
First, $15.75+15.75 = 31.5$. Then, $31.5+4.5=36$. Finally, $36 + 12=48$.

Answer:

$48.00$ cm
