If the city block is SQUARE that means that each side is the same length! Squares have he exact same sides measures. So, if one side is 462 meters, then that means that all sides are 462 meters. Now you can find the perimeter. 462+462+462+462=1,848 meters.
Establish two right triangles, both with the height of the pole, h.
Call x the distance from the pole to one stake. Then the distance from the other stake to the pole is 6 -x.
Apply Pytagora's equation to both triangles.
1) h^2 = 7^2 - x^2
2) h^2 = 8^2 - (6-x)^2
Eaual 1 to 2
7^2 - x^2 = 8^2 - 6^2 +12x -x^2
12x = 7^2 -8^2 +6^2 = 49 -64 + 36 = 21
x = 1.75
Substitue x-value in 1
h^2 = 49 - (1.75)^2 = 45.94
h = sqrt(45.94) = 6.78

An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles. Define ∠PQR = 2q, and ∠QPR = 2p. The purpose of this is to let us use a single character to represent the angle, instead of 4 characters.
The above relation tells us ...
∠PRS = ∠PQR +∠QPR = 2q +2p
Then ...
∠TRS = (1/2)∠PRS = (1/2)(2q +2p) = q +p
and
∠TRS = ∠TQR +∠QTR . . . . . exterior is sum of remote interior
q +p = (1/2)(2q) +∠QTR . . . . substitute for ∠TRS and ∠TQR
p = ∠QTR = 1/2(∠QPR) . . . . . subtract q

For triangle ABC, draw line DE parallel to BC through point A. Put point D on the same side of point A that point B is on the side of the median from vertex A. Then we have congruent alternate interior angles DAB and ABC, as well as EAC and ACB. The angle sum theorem tells you that ...
∠DAB +∠BAC +∠CAE = ∠DAE . . . . a straight angle = 180°
Substituting the congruent angles, this gives ...
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180° . . . . . the desired relation
