Chapter 1, Problem 48A

To determine

To Calculate:The perimeter of the plot in question.

Answer to Problem 48A

  $362\text{m}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Sides of a quadrilateral:

  $\text{132}\text{.68 m , 48}\text{.3m , 132}\text{.736 m , 48}\text{.37 m}$

Formula Used:

The formula for the perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of all the sides.

Calculation:

Add all the sides.

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{132}\text{.68 m + 48}\text{.3m + 132}\text{.736 m + 48}\text{.37 m = 362}\text{.086 m}\\ \approx \text{362}\text{m}\end{array}$

The result is rounded off to 3 significant figures.

Conclusion:

The perimeter of the quadrilateral is $362\text{m}$ .
