In the figure above, two rectangles with the same dimensions [#permalink] New post 15 Sep 2007, 07:07
In the figure above, two rectangles with the same dimensions overlap to form the shaded region. If each rectangle has perimeter 12 and the shaded region has perimeter 3, what is the total length of the heavy line segments?

(A) 15 (B) 18 (C) 21
(D) 22 (E) 23

Rofl thanks Killer.

24-3=21. So I guess the "heavy line segment" means the outline of the figure.


Whered u get this question?
