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>:)

Have a good one.

Which equation represents the circle described?

faust18 [17]

ANSWER

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = {2}^{2}$

EXPLANATION

The equation of the circle with radius r and centre (a,b) is given by

$(x - a)^{2} + {(x - b)}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

The radius is

$r = 2$

We need to determine the center of the circle from the given equation of another circle, which is,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 8x - 6y + 24 = 0$

We complete the square to obtain,

${x}^{2} - 8x+ {y}^{2} - 6y + 24 = 0$

${x}^{2} - 8x+ {y}^{2} - 6y = - 24$
${x}^{2} - 8x+ {( - 4)}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 6y + {( - 3)}^{2} = - 24 + {( - 3)}^{2} + {( - 4)}^{2}$

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = - 24 + 9+ 16$

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = 1$

The centre of this circle is (4,3)

Hence the center of the circle whose equation we want to find is also (4,3).

With this center and radius 2, the required equation is,

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = {2}^{2}$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

The function d(s) = 0.0056s squared + 0.14s models the stopping distance

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The car must have a speed of 25 kilometres per hour to stop after moving 7 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $d(s) = 0.0056\cdot s^{2} + 0.14\cdot s$ , where $d$ is the stopping distance measured in metres and $s$ is the speed measured in kilometres per hour. The second-order polynomial is drawn with the help of a graphing tool and whose outcome is presented below as attachment.

The procedure to find the speed related to the given stopping distance is described below:

1) Construct the graph of $d(s)$ .

2) Add the function $d = 7\,m$ .

3) The point of intersection between both curves contains the speed related to given stopping distance.

In consequence, the car must have a speed of 25 kilometres per hour to stop after moving 7 metres.
