One side of the rectangular field measures 1/4 miles.
Let x = the length of the other side in miles.

Then the area of the field is 
A = 0.25x mi²

Note that
1 mi² = 640 acres, or 1/640 mi²/acre.

The area is given as 25 acres, which is equal to
(25 acres)*(1/640 mi²/acre) = 0.0391 mi²

Therefore
0.25x = 0.0391
x = 0.1563 mi

The length of fencing required is the perimeter of the rectangle.
It is
2*(0.1563 + 0.25) = 0.8126mi.

Because 1 mile = 1760yards, therefore the perimeter is
0.8126*1760 = 1430.2 yds

Answer: 1430.2 yards
For practical purposes, it should be 1431 yards.

What is the value of y?
shepuryov [24]
<h3>Answer:   y = 3</h3>

===========================================================

This is because quadrilateral JMQP is also a parallelogram. Note the arrow markers to tell us that JM is parallel to PQ, and also JP is paralle to QM.

A parallelogram has its opposite sides parallel, and those opposite sides are the same length.

JM = PQ and JP = QM

Because y = QM, QM = JP, and JP = 3, this means y = 3.

How to calculate standard deviation sample?
Harman [31]
Formula for standard deviation sample calculation is:
SD = sqrt (( ∑( x - m)²) / ( n - 1 )),
where x stays for each value in the data set, m stays for mean of all values in the data set, and n stays for the number of values in the data set.
For example: Find the sample standard deviation for the set of numbers: 10, 11, 11, 12, 12.
First we will find mean of all avlues: m = ( 10 + 11 + 11 + 12 +12 ) / 5 = 11.2
SD = sqrt (( 1.2² + 0.2² + 0.2² + 0.8² + 0.8² ) / ( 5 - 1 ))=
= sqrt ( 2.8 / 4 ) = √0.7 = 0.837
