(1) The measure of the width of the given youth soccer field is 60 yards.

(2) The measure of the length of the given youth soccer field is 100 yards.

(3) The distance diagonally across the youth soccer field is 116.62 yards.

The given parameters;

perimeter of the field, P = 320 yards

length of the field, L = 40 + W

(1) The width of the soccer field is calculated as;

P = 2(L + W)

320 = 2(40 + W + W)

320 = 2(40 + 2W)

320 = 80 + 4W

4W = 320 - 80

4W = 240

$W = \frac{240}{4} \\\\W = 60 \ yards$

(2) The length of the soccer field is calculated as;

L = 40 + W

L = 40 + 60

L = 100 yards

(3) The the distance diagonally across the youth soccer field;

$d^2 = L^2 + W^2\\\\d^2 = 100^2 + 60^2\\\\d^2 = 13600\\\\d = \sqrt{13600} \\\\d = 116.62 \ yards$

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The fence will still be five feet high because the lengthening of the tree occurs at the apical meristem

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple and quick question to solve

years later after the tree is now thirty feet high, The barbed wire has been initially stapled at a height of five feet.

However a tree increases from its apical meristem therefore the barbed wire fence will still remain at that same height of five feet high.

In Justin's school 0.825 of the students participate in a sport. If there are 1000 students in Justin's school, how many partici

ikadub [295]

Answer:

825

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students who participated in the sport be x, which is equivalent to 0.825

The total number of students in the school is equivalent to 1

Expressing mathematically,we obtain

0.825:x=1:1000

$\implies \frac{0.825}{x}= \frac{1}{1000}$

By cross multiplying we obtain,

$x=0.825 \times 1000$

We finally simplify to arrive at

$x=825$

Hence the number of students who participated in the sport is 825

Need help please this question is very confusing i would love some help

Natali [406]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k) = (- 3, - 6), thus

y = a(x + 3)² - 6

To find a substitute (0, 0) into the equation

0 = 9a - 6 ⇒ a = $\frac{6}{9}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ (x + 3)² - 6 ← in vertex form

Expand (x + 3)² and distribute by $\frac{2}{3}$

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ (x² + 6x + 9) - 6

= $\frac{2}{3}$ x² + 4x + 6 - 6

= $\frac{2}{3}$ x² + 4x ← in standard form
