You want to put a fence around your large yard. You have found two companies that can do the work. They have each given you a qu

ote for how much the work will cost. Of course, you want to find out which company will be the cheapest.
The boundary of your yard is determined by five trees. The lines connecting them form the edge of your property. Shown below are the descriptions for the positions of the trees relative to your house.

Tree Position (Relative to your house)
1 100 ft. East
2 40 ft. East, 80 ft. South
3 40 ft. West, 120 ft. South
4 90 ft. West, 60 ft. North
5 20 ft. East, 110 ft. North

Step 1: On graph paper, mark the position of each of the trees on your land. Let each block of the graph paper represent a 10-foot by 10-foot square. Using a straightedge, connect Tree 1 to Tree 2, Tree 2 to Tree 3, Tree 3 to Tree 4, and so on.

Step 2: Use the Pythagorean Theorem (or distance formula) to find the length of each side of your property. Round each answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Step 3: Determine the perimeter of your property by adding up all the sides.

Step 4: Company 1 says they will complete the job for $12 per foot of fencing. Company 2 says they will charge $4,600 for the first 550 feet of fence and $29 for each additional foot. Determine the cost of fencing for both companies.

Step 5: Figure out which company will complete the job for the least amount of money.















Break your property into smaller parts and use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length for each side. Remember that each grid line on your graph paper represents 10 feet. Also remember to round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. Show your work below.

Work for the distance from Tree 1 to Tree 2




Distance: _______________ ft. Work for the distance from Tree 2 to Tree 3




Distance: ________________ ft.
Work for the distance from Tree 3 to Tree 4




Distance: ________________ ft. Work for the distance from Tree 4 to Tree 5




Distance: ________________ ft.
Work for the distance from Tree 5 to Tree 1




Distance: ________________ ft. Work for the perimeter of your property.




Distance: ________________ ft.

A)One way in which the author's point of view is reflected in his description of United States actions against Cuba
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The author's point of view is reflected in this phrase; "..., in the near future, the United States using the pretext of an allegedly growing threat to the Western Hemisphere, will embark on a long process of increasing the pressure on governments of the Latin American countries to work out additional threats against Cuba."

Explanation:

The author's perspective is seen in his use of words like "pretext," and "allegedly". The author is thus saying that the United States is not straightforward, or completely honest in the claims of a threat to the Western Hemisphere. This phrase also shows that the author believes that the United States was being unnecessarily hard on the Cuban nation by threatening them.

We can sense that the author of the text favors Cuba as against the United States. In order to determine the author's perspective, careful attention ought to be given to certain key words in the text.
