To find the perimeter of the actual object, we need to determine the length of each side in meters using the given scale factor.
The scale factor is the ratio of the length on the drawing to the actual length. In this case, the length on the drawing is 1.29 cm. Let's say the actual length is x meters.
So, the scale factor is given by:
Scale Factor = Length on Drawing / Actual Length
1.29 cm = x meters
To convert centimeters to meters, we divide by 100 (since there are 100 centimeters in a meter):
1.29 cm / 100 = x
Simplifying, we get:
0.0129 meters = x
Now that we have found the value of x, we can find the length of each side in meters.
Length of each side = 0.0129 meters
To find the perimeter of the actual object, we need to add up the lengths of all sides. Since all sides are of equal length, we can simply multiply the length of one side by 4 (since there are 4 sides in a square).
Perimeter = 4 * 0.0129 meters = 0.0516 meters
Therefore, the perimeter of the actual object is 0.0516 meters.
However, none of the given answer choices match this result exactly. Please double-check the information provided.
