Nine square tiles are laid out on a table so that they make a solid pattern. each tile must touch at least one other tile along an entire edge. the squares all have sides of length 1.
(a) what are the possible perimeters of the figures that can be formed? (the perimeter is the distance around the figure.)
(b) which figure has the least perimeter?

can someone me with this?

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

you said it was in the question

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
