The answer is b. It is the only choice that equals the right answer. You could also write this as 3 * 10^4, which is equivalent to b.
If Samantha's backyard has an area of 100 square feet, and you need to know how much fencing to enclose the garden, you know you are looking for the parameter of the garden. To fine the parameter you have to know the length of the sides. Area of a square is length times width and length and width are the same value. So what you know the square-root of 100 is the value of each side. So each side of the garden is 10 feet long. To find parameter all you do is add up all four sides. 10+10+10+10 = 40 feet need to enclose the flower garden.<span />

Answer:
9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.
It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.

<em>Additional comments</em>
It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.
It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.
