Since it is a square, all sides are equal.
Divide the 440 by 4 to find the length of each side.
440/4 = 110 yards

A couple of things we need to keep in mind before we determine the sides of the field.
1) The field is square. This is important because a square has four equal sides; not one side can be different with a square.

2) The full perimeter is 440 yards.

Since we know that a square has a perimeter of 440 yards, we can use this information to find the length of each side.
A square has four equal sides, so we can divide 440 by 4 (since the perimeter is all of the sides' lengths added together) and we would have the length of one, and if we have the length of one (the lengths are all equal), we have the length of all four.

As so:

440 / 4 = 110
So, the lengths of the sides are 110. To check if this is true, we can draw a square and input the length of 110 for all four of them.

(I can't draw on here...so we have 4 sides of 110.)

110 + 110 + 110 + 110 = 440!

Now, we know our answer is correct!
Hope I could help you out! If my math is incorrect, or I provided an answer you were not looking for, please let me know! However, if you think my math was explained well, please consider marking my answer as <em>Brainliest! </em>:)

What is the equation of a quadratic function P with rational coefficients that

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

$P(x) = x^2-6x+58$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is function of the form $P(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ where a, b and c are real numbers and $a\neq 0$

A number is said to be a rational number if it can be written in the form $\frac{u}{v}$ where u and v are integers and $v\neq 0$ .

A number is said to be a complex number if it can be written in the form u+iv where u and v are real numbers.

A number 'a' is said to be a zero of a function P(x) if $P(a)=0$

We know that if zero of a fraction is of form u+iv then its other zero is u-iv.

As 3+7i is a zero of the function, 3-7i is also its zero.

So, given equation is $\left ( x-(3-7i) \right )\left ( x-(3+7i) \right )$

$P(x)=\left ( x-(3-7i) \right )\left ( x-(3+7i) \right )\\=x^2-x(3+7i)-x(3-7i)+(3-7i)(3+7i)\\=x^2-3x-7ix-3x+7ix+9+49\\=x^2-6x+58$

Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is perpendicular to the line y= 1/3x+4

zvonat [6]

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the negative reciprocal of each other. (Basically flip the sign +/- and the fraction(switch the numerator and the denominator))

For example:

Slope = 2 or $\frac{2}{1}$

Perpendicular line's slope = $-\frac{1}{2}$ (flip the sign from + to -, and flip the fraction)

Slope = $-\frac{3}{4}$

Perpendicular line's slope = $\frac{4}{3}$ (flip the sign from - to +, and flip the fraction)

y = 1/3x + 4 The slope is 1/3, so the perpendicular line's slope is $-\frac{3}{1}$ or -3.

Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = -3x + b To find b, plug in the point (1, 2) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself

2= -3(1) + b Add 3 on both sides to get "b" by itself

2 + 3 = -3 + 3 + b

5 = b

y = -3x + 5
