What part do you have trouble with
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):

Let,





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

Let,





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

Let,





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

Let,





(nearest tenth)
Length of fencing required = 8.9 + 7.1 + 7.2 + 11.4 = 34.6 units
4 and 7 and 8 and 9 and10
Answer:
The first number is 20, the second one is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second number be y
Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9
It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31
here are the two equations:
x-y=9
x+y=31
You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination
add the two equations
x-y=9
x+y=31
2x=40
divide by 2
x=20
Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations
20+y=31
subtract 20 from both sides
y=11
That means the two numbers are 20 and 11
Hope this helps!
