Answer:

<h2>a. 2,025 ft</h2><h2>b. 8,100 is a perfect square. </h2>

Step-by-step & explanation:

<em>It is a perfect square because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be equally a whole number when divided by 4 or 2,025 exactly on ALL 4 sides and when finding the root of 8,100 it's a perfect 90. As you should already know a perfect square has a given 90 degree angle.</em>

Tarp = 8,100 sq ft.

- anchored corners at the base.

- Square infield.

Well if there's 4 bases, divide 8,100 by 4.

8,100 / 4 = 2,025

One base to another base is 2,025 ft.
