-100 is rational.
-100 can be turned into a fraction by doing the following...
Just put 1 underneath -100 and you get 
So that means it is rational since it can be a fraction!
The correct answer is: [B]: "40 yd² " .

First, find the area of the triangle:
The formula of the area of a triangle, "A":
A = (1/2) * b * h ;
in which: " A = area (in units 'squared') ; in our case, " yd² " ;
" b = base length" = 6 yd.
" h = perpendicular height" = "(4 yd + 4 yd)" = 8 yd.
___________________________________________________
→ A = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * (6 yd) * (8 yd) = (1/2) * (6) * (8) * (yd²) ;
= " 24 yd² " .

Now, find the area, "A", of the square:
The formula for the area, "A" of a square:
A = s² ;
in which: "A = area (in "units squared") ; in our case, " yd² " ;
"s = side length (since a 'square' has all FOUR (4) equal side lengths);
A = s² = (4 yd)² = 4² * yd² = "16 yd² "

Now, we add the areas of BOTH the triangle AND the square:
_________________________________________________
→ " 24 yd² + 16 yd² " ;
to get: " 40 yd² " ; which is: Answer choice: [B]: " 40 yd² " .

Answer:
11.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the right triangle formed by the tent pole, the ground and the guy rope, where the guy rope (g) is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras' identity
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
g² = 9² + 7² = 81 + 49 = 130 ( take the square root of both sides )
g = 
≈ 11.4 feet
