Answer:
27.4 yards
Explanation:
The diagonal of a rectangle, one of it's length and one of it's width will form a right angle triangle
Let
Width = x
Length = 2x
Diagonal = 80 yards
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where
c= diagonal
a= length
b= width
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
80^2 = (2x)^2 + (x)^2
80^2 = 2x * 2x + x^2
80^2 = 4x^2 + x^2
6,400= 5x^2
Divide both sides by 5
x^2= 6400 / 5
= 1280
x^2 = 1,280
Find the square root of both sides
√x^2 = √1,280
x= 35.8
How many yards, to the nearest tenth of a yard, does a person save by walking diagonally across the land instead of walking its length and its width?
Yards saved= (Length + width) - diagonal
= (2x+x) - 80
= {2(35.8) + 35.8} - 80
= (71.6 + 35.8) - 80
= 107.4 - 80
= 27.4
Yards saved = 27.4 yards
Answer:
It causes climate change. The climate impact of meat is enormous – roughly equivalent to all the driving and flying of every car, truck and plane in the world. When forests are destroyed to produce industrial meat, billions of ton of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere, accelerating global warming.
