Question

a large park in the shape of a parallelogram. The park has an area of 776 1/4 square yards. The base of the park 34 1/2 yards. marta wants to jog 10 sprints. each sprint is the same distance as the height of the park. how far will marta sprint

Answer 1

Answer:

So, marta will sprint 225 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram= b*h

Given: Area = 776.5 square yards

Base = 34.5 yards

Area = b* h

776.5 = 34.5 * h

776.5/34.5 =h

=> h = 22.5

Since sprint is the same distance as of height of park so,

Distance of  1 sprint = 22.5 yards

Distance of  10 sprints = 10 * 22.5 = 225 yards
