Answer:
This answer would be c
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is 6000 yd2
LW = 6000
field must be 40 yards longer than its width
L = W + 40
Replace L with W+40 in 1st equation to solve for Width
(W+40)(W) = 6000
W2 + 40W - 6000 = 0
This is a quadratic but is factorable
Factors of -6000 that add to 40 are (100)(-60)
(W+100)(W-60) = 0
W = -100 or W = 60
Since the width will not be negative discard -100
The width is 60 yards
Length is W+40 = 100 yards
A. 1.33
B. 133%
C. 13/1000
D. 0.0133

Answer: 36.4 units (choice A)</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Let's use the distance formula to find the distance from D to E

Note: uppercase D refers to the point, while lowercase d is the distance from D to E.
The length of segment DE is roughly 10.198 units long.
----------------
Repeat for the distance from E to F.

Segment EF is roughly 11.1803 units long.
----------------
Repeat for the distance from F to D.

Unlike the others, this result is exact.
----------------
Add up the three segment lengths to get the perimeter
DE + EF + FD
10.198 + 11.1803 + 15
36.3783
The perimeter is approximately 36.3783 units which rounds to <u>36.4</u>
