The length of side walk is 500 feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, A rectangle park measures 300 ft by 400 ft
Length = 300 feet
Width = 400 feet
A sidewalk runs diagonally from one comer to the opposite corner
We have to find the length of side walk
Which means, we have to find the length of diagonal of rectangle
<em><u>The diagonal of rectangle is given by formula:</u></em>
Where,
d is the length of diagonal
w is the width and l is the length of rectangle
<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>
Thus length of side walk is 500 feet
The answer is 19,684.
We can use combinations to answer this:

Remember that the difference between census and a sample survey is that in a census you take all the people of population in consideration in the study, and in the sample survey you take a part of that population in consideration to survey.
SO here if you check the problem it says that "in a recent poll, Pew reserchers found that 47% OF AMERICAN ADULT RESPONDENTS"
that is the population of the study that you want to focus, but there are a billion of american adult in US right? so its impossible that this company Pow Research made a census if you consider that a billion of people in US is almost infinite number for a company with a finite number of employees.
Also remember that a company has a budget to consider every month or every year, so to make a census or a sample survey it takes time and money, just to survey 10 people in a streeth of US cost money so if you want to reduce cost you might need to do a sample survey instead of a census.
