Answer:
The answer to the equation is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2(L + W)
P = 400
L = W + 40
400 = 2(W + 40 + W)
400 = 2(2W + 40)
400 = 4W + 80
400 - 80 = 4W
320 = 4W
320/4 = W
80 = W.....so the width (W) = 80 yards
L = W + 40
L = 80 + 40
L = 120...and the length (L) = 120 yards
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
a² = b²+c²
As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:
b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16
With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10
Pretty sure it’s b BBbBBhVvbBbBBUVVVbBhHh

Answer:
Area is 147.74
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to recall that the equation for the area of a rectangle is:
Length * Width = area
So 16 3/5 * 8 9/10 = area
Rearrange so the whole numbers are being multiplied and the fractions are too:
We need to make the denominator same, this can be done by simply multiplying 3/5 by 2:
3/5 * 2 = 6/10
Now the two numbers can be written as 16.6 and 8.9.
Multiply both numbers by 10:
166 * 89 = 14774
Then divide this by 100 (two lots of division by 10)
14774 ÷ 1000 = 147.74
So the area of the rectangle is 147.74!
