<p>Hey, can someone help me with this question. </p>
<p>What is the perimeter of the figure above? (The figure is drawn)</p>
<p>I put 36 I dont remember why but the answer is actually D. 30.</p>
<p>Can someone explain why?</p>
<p>note the measures of the given angles. now draw an imaginary horizontal line connecting the two lowest points on the figure.</p>
<p>you'll notice that the imaginary line creates an equilateral triangle whose base is 6 units long. if the base is 6 units long, then the other two sides (which are part of the figure) are also 6 units long. that makes the overall perimeter 30.</p>
<p>another approach would be to note that the figure is drawn to scale and then just measure the sides by making tick marks on your answer sheet. you'll see that all the sides of the figure have the same length (6 units).</p>
