You would divide seven by four

because there are seven miles in total and you have four sections that the seven miles go in to

now we divide 7 by four

=1.75 miles in each section. hope this helped

You would divide 7 by 4. (7/4) each section would be 1.75 miles :)

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The answer to problem 1 is 3400 miles

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

Explanation for problem 1:

We're asked to find the perimeter, which is the total distance around the exterior or outside. In other words, we need to add up the four side lengths of this quadrilateral.

We'll need the distance formula to find the lengths of the slanted sides AB and BC

----------------------------------------

Let's first find the length of segment AB

A = (x1,y1) = (0,0)

B = (x2,y2) = (400,300)

d = Length of AB

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-400)^2 + (0-300)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-400)^2 + (-300)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{160000 + 90000}\\\\d = \sqrt{250000}\\\\d = 500\\\\$

The distance from A to B is 500 miles. This is the same as saying segment AB is 500 miles long.

----------------------------------------

Now find the length of segment BC

B = (x1,y1) = (400,300)

C = (x2,y2) = (-800,800)

d = length of BC

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(400-(-800))^2 + (300-800)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(400+800)^2 + (300-800)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(1200)^2 + (-500)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{1440000 + 250000}\\\\d = \sqrt{1690000}\\\\d = 1300\\\\$

----------------------------------------

The length of CD is fairly easy to find without needing the distance formula. This is because it is a vertical line. We subtract the y coordinates of C and D to get 800-0 = 800. So CD is 800 miles long.

Segment DA is a similar story. But we subtract the x coordinates. This only works for horizontal lines. DA is 800 miles long because |-800-0| = 800. Absolute value is used to make sure the distance is never negative.

----------------------------------------

To summarize everything so far, we found these four side lengths
