Answer:
44.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for shapes
[tex]P_A= 56cm[/tex]
Required
The perimeter of B
Let the length of a side of the square that makes up A be, l.
So, we have:
[tex]P_A = 10 * l[/tex] --- because A is formed by 10 sides of l
[tex]56 = 10 * l[/tex]
[tex]l =\frac{56}{10}[/tex]
[tex]l =5.6[/tex]
The perimeter of B is:
[tex]p_B = 8*l[/tex] --- because B is formed by 8 sides of l
[tex]p_B = 8*5.6[/tex]
[tex]p_B = 44.8[/tex]
