Answer:

34.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The lenght of fencing required is the total distance between point A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A. That is the distance between all 4 corners of the meadow.

The coordinates of the corners of the meadow is shown on a coordinate plane in the attachment. (See attachment below).

Let's use the distance formula to calculate the distance between the 4 corners of the meadow using their coordinates as follows:

Distance between point A(-6, 2) and point B(2, 6):

AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Let,

A(-6, 2)) = (x_1, y_1)

B(2, 6) = (x_2, y_2)

AB = \sqrt{(2 - (-6))^2 + (6 - 2)^2}

AB = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (4)^2}

AB = \sqrt{64 + 16} = \sqrt{80}

AB = 8.9 (nearest tenth)

Distance between B(2, 6) and C(7, 1):

BC = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Let,

B(2, 6) = (x_1, y_1)

C(7, 1) = (x_2, y_2)

BC = \sqrt{(7 - 2)^2 + (1 - 6)^2}

BC = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-5)^2}

BC = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50}

BC = 7.1 (nearest tenth)

Distance between C(7, 1) and D(3, -5):

CD = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Let,

C(7, 1) = (x_1, y_1)

D(3, -5) = (x_2, y_2)

CD = \sqrt{(3 - 7)^2 + (-5 - 1)^2}

CD = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-6)^2}

CD = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52}

CD = 7.2 (nearest tenth)

Distance between D(3, -5) and A(-6, 2):

DA = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Let,

D(3, -5) = (x_1, y_1)

A(-6, 2) = (x_2, y_2)

DA = \sqrt{(-6 - 3)^2 + (2 - (-5))^2}

DA = \sqrt{(-9)^2 + (7)^2}

DA = \sqrt{81 + 49} = \sqrt{130}

DA = 11.4 (nearest tenth)

Length of fencing required = 8.9 + 7.1 + 7.2 + 11.4 = 34.6 units

A temperature record in Antarctica was -120.the temperature recorded in the Sahara desert was 129.how many degrees warmer is 129
allochka39001 [22]

129 is 249 degrees warmer than -120 because -120+120=0 and then you add 129 to 0 which is 129. that means you add 120 and 129 to get 249

Solve the following inequality:
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The answer is option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the inequality, you have to get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides :

k - 3 \leqslant 9

k - 3 + 3 \leqslant 9 + 3

k \leqslant 12
