Answer:

<u>The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Width of the sports field = At least 60 yards

Area of the sports field = 240 - 400x square yards

We can conclude the shape of the sports field is rectangular.

2. Find the dimensions of the sports field.

A. We need to find the Greatest Common factor between 240 and 400, this way:

The factors of 240 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240 .

The factors of 400 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400 .

Then the greatest common factor is 80.

This GCF is also higher than 60, therefore it's one of the dimensions of the sports field.

Now, we calculate the other side of the sports, this way:

Second dimension of the sports field = (240 - 400x)/80

Second dimension of the sports field = 3 -5x

<u>The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards</u>

In triangle NQL, point S is the centroid, NS = (x + 10) feet, and SR = (x + 3) feet.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Where R is the median between Q and L:

From my understanding of a triangle's centroid, it divides an angle bisector into parts of 2/3 and 1/3. In the given problem, these divisions are NS and SR. Therefore, twice SR would be equal to NS. From here, we can get the value of X, to solve for SR.

NS = 2SR
(x + 10) = 2(x + 3)
x + 10 = 2x + 6
x = 4

Therefore, SR = (x + 3) = 7

A circular racetrack has a diameter of 1/2 mile. How far does a car travel in one lap around the track? Round to the nearest ten

dlinn [17]

Given:
Circular racetrack with a diameter of 1/2 mile

Find: how far does a car travel in one lap around the track?

We need to find the circumference of the racetrack.

Circumference is multiplying pi to the diameter of the racetrack.

Circumference = 3.14 * 1/2 mile
Circumference = 3.14/2 mile
Circumference = 1.57 miles rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.60 miles.
