A table-top measures 2 m 25 cm by 1 m 50 cm. What is the perimeter of the top of the table-top?
It is given in the question that,
Length of table top, l = 2 m 25 cm
= 2 + 0.25 (Because 25 cm = 0.25m)
= 2.25m
Also,
Breadth of the table top, b = 1 m 50 cm
= 1 + 0.50 (Because 50 cm = 0.50m)
= 1.50 m
We know that,
Perimeter of table-top = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (2.25 + 1.50)
= 2 × 3.75
= 7.5 m
Hence, perimeter of table-top is 7.5 m
