Two points are drawn on each side of a square with an area of 81 square units dividing the side into 3 congruent parts. quarter-circle arcs connect the points on adjacent sides to create the figure shown. what is the length of the boundary of the bolded figure? express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.

The length of the bold figure ABCDEFGH is 30.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve the problem look to the attached figure

- There is a square of area 81 units²

∵ The area of the square = L² , where L is the length of the side of

   the square

∵ The area of the square = 81 units²

∴ L² = 81 ⇒ take √ for both sides

∴ L = 9 units

- Two points are drawn on each side of a square dividing it into 3

  congruent parts

∵ 9 ÷ 3 = 3

∴ The length of each part is 3 units

- Quarter-circle arcs connect the points on adjacent sides to create

 the attached figure

∵ The radius of each quarter circle is 3 units

∵ The length of each side joining the two quarter circle is 3 units

∵ The figure ABCDEFGH consists of 4 quarters circle and 4 lines

- The length of the 4 quarters circle = the length of one circle

∵ The length of the circle is 2πr

∴ The length of the 4 quarters circle = 2 π (3) = 6π units

∵ The length of each line = 3 units

∴ The length of the figure = 6π + 4 × 3 = 30.8 units

* The length of the bold figure ABCDEFGH is 30.8 units

step-by-step explanation:

your exact question is kind of difficult to understand, so maybe an example will explain what you're supposed to do? i'll work through the first problem on the worksheet.

suppose you have a tray of 652 brownies, and you have 5 friends that you want to feed without picking favorites. how many brownies can you dole out to each of your friends in equal amounts? how many will be left over for you to eat?

what you're doing here is finding a way to arrange the number 652 as the sum of integer multiple of 5 and some remainder:

here ("q" for quotient) is the number of brownies each of your friends get, and is the remainder. that's the basic idea behind division.

we break up the number 652 into parts so that the leading digit stands on its own:

652 = 600 + 52

first we check if it's possible to hand out exactly 100 brownies to each friend. with 5 friends, this means we want to know if we can take out 500 brownies from the tray. we can do this 1 time because we have 600 brownies to take from, and when we do that we're left with 100 + 52 brownies to divvy up. so we know that

652 = 1*500 + 152

next we want to know if it's possible to hand out exactly 10 brownies per friend. if we can, we have to remove 50 brownies from the tray each time until we can't. we have 152 brownies left, and we know that 3(50) = 150, so

152 = 3*50 + 2

now we have 2 brownies left in the tray. is it possible to hand 1 out to each of your 5 friends? no, you'd need a minimum of 5 brownies to do that. so the last 2 are yours.

putting everything together, we found that

652 = 1*500 + 3*50 + 2

and we can rearrange this to write

652 = 5*100 + 5*30 + 2

652 = 5(100 + 30) + 2

652 = 5*130 + 2

so and .
