The hotel staff is decorating the lobby by placing one row of string lights along the outer edge of the rectangular ceiling. A member of the staff maps the ceiling on a coordinate grid as shown, where each unit represents 1 meter. What is the approximate length of string lights the staff needs to decorate the ceiling?

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached figure, we have the following coordinates

A = (5, 16)

B = (17, 10)

C = (14, 4)

D = (2, 10)

Calculate the lengths AB and BC using the following distance formula

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

This gives

AB = √[(5- 17)^2 + (16- 10)^2] = 13.4

BC = √[(14- 17)^2 + (4- 10)^2] = 6.7

The approximate length of string lights the staff needs to decorate the ceiling is then calculated as

P = 2 * (AB + BC)

This gives

P = 2 * (13.4 + 6.7)

Evaluate

P = 40.2

Hence, the approximate length of string lights the staff needs to decorate the ceiling is 40.25
