Alex is planning to surround his pool ABCD with a single line of tiles. How many units of tile will he need to surround his pool? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

A coordinate plane with quadrilateral ABCD at A 0 comma 3, B 2 comma 4, C 4 comma 0, and D 2 comma negative 1. Angles A and C are right angles, the length of segment AB is 2 and 24 hundredths units, and the length of diagonal BD is 5 units.

Answer:

C. 13.42

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test and got it right.

The units of tile will he need to surround his pool is 13.42

The given parameters are:

[tex]AB =2.24[/tex]

[tex]BD =5[/tex]

Start by calculating the distance BC using the following Pythagoras theorem

[tex]BD^2 = AB^2 + BC^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]5^2 = 2.24^2 + BC^2[/tex]

[tex]25 = 5 + BC^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]BC^2 = 25 - 5[/tex]

[tex]BC^2 = 20[/tex]

Take the square roots of both sides

[tex]BC = 4.47[/tex]

The unit of tiles is then calculated using the following perimeter formula

[tex]Tiles = 2 \times (AB + BC)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Tiles = 2 \times (2.24 + 4.47)[/tex]

[tex]Tiles = 13.42[/tex]

Hence, the units of tile will he need to surround his pool is 13.42
