9514 1404 393

Answer:

  96 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal through the park cuts the rectangle into two right triangles. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the sides of a right triangle and its hypotenuse: the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

The diagonal is the hypotenuse, so we have ...

  100² = 28² + w²

  w = √(10000 -784) = 96

The width of the park is 96 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The integer side lengths of a right triangle form what is called a "Pythagorean triple." One of the most often seen of these is (3, 4, 5). Other commonly seen Pythagorean triples are (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17).

You may notice that the numbers here are those of the (7, 24, 25) Pythagorean triple, multiplied by 4. If you recognize the given lengths as having the ratio 28:100 = 7:25, you have the clue you need to determine the answer simply from your knowledge of Pythagorean triples.

The question is missing the figure which is attached below.

Answer:

The last box that has dimensions 8 in × 8 in × 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of the soil = 924 cubic inches.

There are four different types of boxes that need to be checked whether they can accommodate all of the soil or not.

The volume of the box must be at least 924 cubic inches to accommodate all of the soil.

Now, volume of the first box is given as:

V_1=l\times b\times h=20\times 5\times 10=1000\ in^3>924\ in^3

Volume of the second box is given as:

V_2=l\times b\times h=10\times 10\times 10=1000\ in^3>924\ in^3

Volume of the third box is given as:

V_3=l\times b\times h=10\times 20\times 6=1200\ in^3>924\ in^3

Volume of the fourth box is given as:

V_4=l\times b\times h=8\times 8\times 10=640\ in^3

Therefore, only the volume of the fourth box is less than the total volume of the soil. So, last box is the correct option.
