Given: In the given figure, there are two equilateral triangles having side 50 yards each and two sectors of radius (r) = 50 yards each with the sector angle θ = 120°
To Find: The length of the park's boundary to the nearest yard.
Calculation:
The length of the park's boundary (P) = 2× side of equilateral triangle + 2 × length of the arc
or, (P) = 2× 50 yards + 2× (2πr) ( θ ÷360°)
or, (P) = 2× 50 yards + 2× (2×3.14× 50 yards) ( 120° ÷360°)
or, (P) = 100 yards + 2× (2×3.14× 50 yards) ( 120° ÷360°)
or, (P) = 100 yards + 209.33 yards
or, (P) = 309.33 yards ≈309 yards
Hence, the option D:309 yards is the correct option.
