In a right triangle the sum of the squares of the lengths of two shorter sides is equal to the square of the length of the longest side.
a.

b.

c.

The answer is A and C.
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
Answer:
400(π+2) feet square
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the diagonal of the cage=40√2 at the same time it is the radius of the circle ( the tiger can go in circle)
but since the cage is part of the circle and not full turn πr²/8
area of the circleπr²+ half area square
(π(40√2)²)/8 +40²/2
3200π/8+1600/2
400π+800
400(π+2) feet square
