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.

50 POINTS <br> Meaning of this picture and how does this political cartoon say about Imperialism?
Elden [556K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Meaning of this picture and what this political cartoon says about Imperialism is that it refers to the Rudyard Kippling idea of the "White Man's Burden." He wrote the famous poem "The White Man's Burden."

The poem refers to the War of 1899 between the United States and the Philippines. Kipling supported with his poem the imperialistic ideas of the United States and the annexation of the Philippines. Kipling thought that the American white men had the right and the moral obligation to educate other races. However, he considered that non-white peoples such as the Philippines would not be grateful after the help of American whites.

That is why in the cartoon, the author depicts a couple of white men, one of them dressing like Uncle Sam, carrying big baskets full of black people, representing other nations.

At that time, Europeans sadly believed that they were a more evolved race who deserved to take over others. That is why Social Darwinism is considered to be imperialistic and racist.

So as part of imperialistic ideas, white people living in European nations or in the United States, believed that they had the right to colonize and conquer less developed territories and govern these native people.
