Answer:

B. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

— Estimating

The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.

The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.

Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.

____

— Detailed calculation

The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.

The circuit length is ...

AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters

+ First, is the inequation 3x - 52 > 28.

+ If Yes, so we can solve:

3x - 52 > 28

3x - 52 + 52 > 28 +52

3x > 90

3x/3 > 90/3 (divide both sides by 3>0)

x > 30
