If you plot the points you will find you have to use the distance formula. Pick out 2 pairs label them (x1,y1) (x2,y2) then plug it into the distance formula. The repeat for the other sides. So you should get (2,5) (4,3) plug into distance formula what is get it distance between those two points, then (4,3) (-2,-1) plug into distance formula to get an answer, lastly (-2,-1) (2,5) plug in. Now you have three answers add all together and here is your perimeter of a triangle.
The answer to your problem is that Marisol’s shadow would be 144 feet long
Answer:
$225
Step-by-step explanation:
The area to be fenced in is 20 ft by 45 ft, or 900 ft^2. But "25 per foot based on the area" is illogical. Please ensure that you have copied this problem down accurately, and be sure to provide units of measurement: did you mean $25 per square foot, or per foot, or what?
The fencing cost is usually dependent on the unit cost and the length of the yard perimeter. The perimeter is P = 2L + 2W, which here is P = 2(45 ft) + 2(20 ft), or 130 ft. If the fencing is 25 cents per foot, $130 ft of fencing would come to $32.50.
