Question

the perimeter of a 6 - sided figure is 67.74 meters. two of the sides have the same length. the sum of the other 4 side lengths is 36.4 meters. about how long is each of the same - side lengths? explain how to decide. first, subtract 67.74 - 36.4 = meters. then, round to the nearest whole number to get and divide by 2. each same - side length is about meters. (type integers or decimals.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the total length of the two equal - length sides

Subtract the sum of the 4 side - lengths from the perimeter.
$67.74−36.4 = 31.34$

Step2: Round the result

Round 31.34 to the nearest whole number.
Rounding 31.34 gives 31.

Step3: Find the length of each equal - length side

Divide the rounded number by 2.
$31\div2 = 15.5$

Answer:

15.5
