a third ant walks around the perimeter of another rectangular sheet of paper the dimension of this sheet of paper are given in decimal numbers expressed to the hundredth place with the tenths and hundredths digits being non-zero if the ant travels between 18 and 19 centimeters what are the dimensions of the sheet of paper? give one possibility

Question

answer this bot please

Answer 1

Let's assume that the length of the sheet of paper is "L" centimeters, and the width is "W" centimeters.

The perimeter of the rectangular sheet of paper is given by the formula: P = 2(L + W)

Since the ant walks around the perimeter, it covers a distance between 18 and 19 centimeters. Therefore, we can write the inequality:

18 < 2(L + W) < 19

Simplifying the inequality:

9 < L + W < 9.5

Now let's try to find one possibility for the dimensions of the sheet of paper. We can assume that the width (W) is close to its maximum, which is 9.5/2 = 4.75 centimeters.

If we choose the width (W) as 4.75 centimeters, then the length (L) can be obtained by rearranging the inequality:

9 < L + 4.75 < 9.5
4.25 < L < 4.75

So, we can choose the width (W) as 4.75 centimeters and the length (L) to be any value between 4.25 and 4.75 centimeters.

One possibility is: Length (L) = 4.5 centimeters and Width (W) = 4.75 centimeters.

Therefore, one possibility for the dimensions of the sheet of paper is a rectangle measuring 4.5 centimeters by 4.75 centimeters.

Answer 2

That is wrong because 4.5 needs to have a non-zero in the hundreths place too.
