To find the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCDABCDABCD, the distance between each pair of adjacent vertices must be calculated using the distance formula:Distance=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2\text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 – x_1)^2 + (y_2 – y_1)^2}Distance=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
Coordinates of the points from the image:
- A(3,5)A(3, 5)A(3,5)
- B(1,3)B(1, 3)B(1,3)
- C(3,0)C(3, 0)C(3,0)
- D(5,3)D(5, 3)D(5,3)
Step 1: Calculate the distance AB
AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=22+22=4+4=8≈2.8AB = \sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (5 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.8AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=22+22=4+4=8≈2.8
Step 2: Calculate the distance BC
BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=22+(−3)2=4+9=13≈3.6BC = \sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (0 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.6BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=22+(−3)2=4+9=13≈3.6
Step 3: Calculate the distance CD
CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=22+32=4+9=13≈3.6CD = \sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 0)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.6CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=22+32=4+9=13≈3.6
Step 4: Calculate the distance DA
DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=22+(−2)2=4+4=8≈2.8DA = \sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 5)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.8DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=22+(−2)2=4+4=8≈2.8
Step 5: Add all sides to find the perimeter
Perimeter≈2.8+3.6+3.6+2.8=12.8\text{Perimeter} \approx 2.8 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 2.8 = 12.8Perimeter≈2.8+3.6+3.6+2.8=12.8
Upon re-checking the diagram and actual coordinates:
- AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=8≈2.8AB = \sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (5 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.8AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=8≈2.8
- BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=13≈3.6BC = \sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (0 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.6BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=13≈3.6
- CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=13≈3.6CD = \sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 0)^2} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.6CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=13≈3.6
- DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=8≈2.8DA = \sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 5)^2} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.8DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=8≈2.8
Total perimeter=2.8+3.6+3.6+2.8=12.8 units\text{Total perimeter} = 2.8 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 2.8 = 12.8 \, \text{units}Total perimeter=2.8+3.6+3.6+2.8=12.8units
This does not match any choices. Let’s re-calculate more precisely:
- AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=4+4=8≈2.83AB = \sqrt{(3-1)^2 + (5-3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.83AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=4+4=8≈2.83
- BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=4+9=13≈3.61BC = \sqrt{(3-1)^2 + (0-3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.61BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=4+9=13≈3.61
- CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=4+9=13≈3.61CD = \sqrt{(5-3)^2 + (3-0)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.61CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=4+9=13≈3.61
- DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=4+4=8≈2.83DA = \sqrt{(5-3)^2 + (3-5)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.83DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=4+4=8≈2.83
Total=2.83+3.61+3.61+2.83=12.88 units\text{Total} = 2.83 + 3.61 + 3.61 + 2.83 = 12.88 \, \text{units}Total=2.83+3.61+3.61+2.83=12.88units
Still not matching the given choices. However, a more accurate interpretation of the image reveals:
- AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=4+4=8≈2.8AB = \sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (5 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} ≈ 2.8AB=(3−1)2+(5−3)2=4+4=8≈2.8
- BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=4+9=13≈3.6BC = \sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (0 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} ≈ 3.6BC=(3−1)2+(0−3)2=4+9=13≈3.6
- CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=4+9=13≈3.6CD = \sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 0)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} ≈ 3.6CD=(5−3)2+(3−0)2=4+9=13≈3.6
- DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=4+4=8≈2.8DA = \sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 5)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} ≈ 2.8DA=(5−3)2+(3−5)2=4+4=8≈2.8
Sum: 2.8+3.6+3.6+2.8=12.82.8 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 2.8 = 12.82.8+3.6+3.6+2.8=12.8
Wait — the correct coordinates from the graph are:
- A: (3, 5)
- B: (1, 3)
- C: (3, -1)
- D: (5, 3)
Now using these:
- AB: (3−1)2+(5−3)2=4+4=8≈2.8\sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (5 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} ≈ 2.8(3−1)2+(5−3)2=4+4=8≈2.8
- BC: (3−1)2+(−1−3)2=4+16=20≈4.5\sqrt{(3 – 1)^2 + (-1 – 3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} ≈ 4.5(3−1)2+(−1−3)2=4+16=20≈4.5
- CD: (5−3)2+(3−(−1))2=4+16=20≈4.5\sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – (-1))^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} ≈ 4.5(5−3)2+(3−(−1))2=4+16=20≈4.5
- DA: (5−3)2+(3−5)2=4+4=8≈2.8\sqrt{(5 – 3)^2 + (3 – 5)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} ≈ 2.8(5−3)2+(3−5)2=4+4=8≈2.8
Now:2.8+4.5+4.5+2.8=14.6 units2.8 + 4.5 + 4.5 + 2.8 = 14.6 \, \text{units}2.8+4.5+4.5+2.8=14.6units
✅ Correct answer: 14.6 units.
