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.

19.82 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of units of tile simply refers to the perimeter.

So, we need to find all the sides of the rectangle.

Now, we have AB = 4.24 units and BD = 7.07 units.

So, we can find AD using pythagoras theorem.

So,

(AD)² + 4.24² = 7.07²

(AD)² + 17.978 = 49.985

(AD)² = 49.985 - 17.978

AD = √32.007

AD = 5.66 units

AD = BC = 5.66 units

Likewise, AB = DC = 4.24 units

Thus,

perimeter = 2(5.66) + 2(4.24) = 19.8 units

Closest answer among the options is approximately 19.82
