Answer: NP = 9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal.
If the length of the longer side is MN, it means that the length of the two opposite longer sides is 2MN.
If the length of the shorter side is NP, it means that the length of the two opposite shorter sides is 2NP.
The perimeter is 2MN + 2NP
If the perimeter of MNPQ is 68 inches, it means that
2MN + 2NP = 68- - - - - - - - - - - -1
In parallelogram MNPQ, side MN is seven inches longer than twice the length of side NP. It means that
MN = 2NP + 7- - - - - - - - - - -2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes
2(2NP + 7) + 2NP = 68
4NP + 14 + 2NP = 68
4NP + 2NP = 68 - 14
6NP = 54
NP = 54/6
NP = 9 inches
We know that the fence is 52 <em>feet</em> long, but since it's sold in yards, we need to somehow convert feet to yards.
First, we need to find a little something called a conversion factor. Basically, we need to see what we can do to get from <em>one foot</em> to <em>one yard</em>.
Well, how many feet are there in a yard? <em><u>3.</u></em><u /><u /> So now we know that <em><u>one foot is 1/3 of a yard.</u>
</em>
So to convert 52ft to yards, we need to divide by 3. What's 52 divided by 3?
17.33.
Now we just need to multiply that by 10.99 so that we can find out the cost.
We get 190.45. That's your answer!
It all cost <em>$190.45
