Problem 1 Easy

The following figure is a side view of a staircase. It is known that each step is 30 cm wide and 20 cm high. What is the perimeter of the side of this staircase in meters?

  • A.

    4

  • B.

    8

  • C.

    16

  • D.

    400

  • E.

    800

Answer:B

Through translation, it can be known that the length BC of the staircase in the figure is 30 \times 8 = 240 cm, and the height AB of the staircase is 20 \times 8 = 160 cm.

Therefore, the perimeter of the side of the staircase is 240 + 160 + (30 + 20) \times 8 = 800 \text{ cm}.

Note the unit conversion: 800 \text{ cm} = 8 \text{ m}.

Thus, the final answer is \boxed{8}m .
