Perimeter of square, 4a = 120

Answer:

The length of the diagonal of the playground is approximately 42.42 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the playground is square we know the formula for its perimeter: P=4l, where l stands for the length of the side of the playground. By the statement of the problem we know that P=4l=120 yd, then it is not difficult to find that l=30 yards.

If we trace the diagonal we see that a right triangle is formed, where the diagonal is its hypotenuse, and its sides are the sides of the playground. Then, using Pythagoras theorem (we denote by d the length of the diagonal), we have

d = \sqrt{30^2+30^2} = \sqrt{1800}\approx 42.42.

Thus, the diagonal has (approximately) 42.42 yards.

How do you find the tax on a purchase and calculate the final bill? Give an example, then write and solve a number sentence to i
Lerok [7]
If you are buying something that cost $15 and sale tax is 6%, you can calculate final bill trough proportions:
$15:100%=$x:106%
100x=106*15, x=(106*15)/100, x=$15.9  is final bill.

You can also use easier way: $15+0.06*$15=$15.9
Explanation for 2nd way: Cost is $15, on that you need to add 6% of $15: (6%/100%)*$15 and that is 0.06*15.
