Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{12 \: miles}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of a square plot = 9 miles

First, finding the length of the land

$\boxed{ \sf{Area \: of \: a \: square \: = \: {length}^{2} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{9 = {length}^{2} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ {length}^{2} = 9}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(length)}^{2} }} = \sqrt{9} }$

$\mapsto{ \sf{length = 3 \: miles}}$

Now , finding the perimeter of the land :

$\boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: a \: square = 4 \: * length}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{perimeter \: = \: 4 \: * \: 3}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{perimeter \: = 12 \: miles}}$

The perimeter of the land = 12 miles

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Hello,

$L=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-4\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\\\\x=4, y=3\\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x} =\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y} =\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{dL}{dt} =\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x}*\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y}*\dfrac{dy}{dt}\\\\=-4*\frac{-4}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}} +3*\frac{3}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5} +\dfrac{9}{5} \\\\=5\\$
