A coordinate plane is a graphical image that shows two number lines. These number lines have a y-axis and x-axis. The y-axis is the vertical number line and the x-axis is the horizontal number line.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 26.8 units

We would be applying Pythagoras Theorem to find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Pythagoras Theorem states that:

c² = a² + b²

Note that c = The length or breadth of the rectangle

Step 1 : Looking at upper part, and dividing the rectangle into a triangle,

We have 4 units and 8 units.

a = 4 units

b = 8 units

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse to be

c² = 4² + 8²

c² = 80

c = √ 80

c = 8.9 units

Applying this to the lower part,

We have 4 units and 2 units.

a = 2 units

b = 4 units

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse to be

c² = 2² + 4²

c² = 20

c = √20

c = 4.5 units

Step 2: We find the Perimeter of a rectangle

Formula = 2L + 2B

Where

L = Length = 8.9 units

B = Breadth = 4.5 units

Hence:

8.9 x 2 + 4.5 x2 = 26.8 units

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 26.8 units

Option C is the correct answer

Answer from: Lydiaxqueen

To calculate the perimeter, consider each side separately. Since this is a rectangle, you have 2 pairs of sides of equal length, so you just have to calculate the length of one of each pair of sides and then double each and add them to find the perimeter.

Top side: If you look carefully, this side is really the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 4 units tall and 8 units long. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse to be 8^2 + 4^2 = c^2 --> c = 8.9

Left side: Just like the top side, this side is the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 4 units tall and 2 units long. Pythagoras again: 4^2 + 2^2 = c^2 --> c = 4.5

Since you have two of each side that are the same length, double each and add for the final perimeter: 8.9*2 + 4.5*2 = 26.8

If i think this is what your asking, he should look at the grams or pounds/ounces and compare the to their cost then max can identify which one is proportional and which is not ( i think xd)
