It has to be 1900 pounds gold
False a square is a quadrilateral not a trapezoid
2*2-1/3 yards= 4-2/ yards =14 feet.
THE SHADOW IS HALF THE HEIGHT OF OBJECT, SINCE A 6 FEET BOY CASTS A 3 FEET . SO THE POLE WILL BE TWICE THE LENGTH OF ITS SHADOW. try this
Part (a)
The picture alone, without the frame, is 16 by 20
When accounting for the frame, the larger rectangle is 16+2x by 20+2x
We add up all four sides to get the perimeter
(16+2x)+(20+2x)+(16+2x)+(20+2x)
8x+72
or you can use this perimeter of a rectangle formula
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(20+2x+16+2x)
P = 2(4x+36)
P = 8x+72
Answer: 8x+72
=========================================
Part (b)
Multiply the length and width to find the area of the rectangle.
area = length*width
A = L*W
A = (20+2x)*(16+2x)
A = 20(16+2x) + 2x(16+2x)
A = 320+40x + 32x + 4x^2
A = 4x^2 + 72x + 320
Answer: 4x^2 + 72x + 320
=========================================
Part (c)
Plug x = 2 into the perimeter equation found in part (a)
P = 8x+72
P = 8*2+72
P = 16+72
P = 88
Now plug x = 2 into the area equation found in part (b)
A = 4x^2 + 72x + 320
A = 4(2)^2 + 72(2) + 320
A = 4(4) + 72(2) + 320
A = 16 + 144 + 320
A = 160+320
A = 480
-------------
Answers:
Perimeter = 88 inches
Area = 480 square inches
