Please help! Tysm! Picture of figure is attached. Reasoning in the diagram at the right, K, L, and M are the midpoints of the sides of AABC. The vertices of the three small purple triangles are the midpoints of the sides of AKBL, AAKM, and AMLC. The perimeter of AABC is 24 cm. What is the perimeter of the shaded region?

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that KM = 0.5BC, KL = 0.5AC

and ML = 0.5AB. Therefore the perimeter of triangle KLM is half of the perimeter of triangle ABC. => 0.5 * 24cm = 12cm.

Each of the 3 purple triangles have perimeters which are 1/4 of the perimeter of triangle ABC. (Their vertices are midpoints of midpoints => 1/2 * 1/2)

Perimeter of 3 small purple triangles

= 3 * [24cm * (1/4)]

= 3 * 6cm = 18cm.

Hence Total perimeter of shaded parts

= 12cm + 18cm = 30cm.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
