A farmer has a 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular field that he wants to increase by 15.5% by cultivating a strip of uniform width aro

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

What is the approximate length of RP? Round to the nearest tenth. 5. 6 units 6. 1 units 8. 3 units 9. 8 units.

kirza4 [7]

The apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of the other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

Given

QR is the tangent to circle P at point Q.

QP = 3 units and QR = 5,.3 units

The length of the RP is given by;

$\rm RP=\sqrt{QP^2+QR^2} \\\\RP=\sqrt{3^2+5.3^2}\\\\ RP=\sqrt{9+28.09} \\\\RP=\sqrt{37.09}\\\\RP= 6.1 \ units$

Hence, the apporoximate length of the RP is 6.1 units.
