Answer:
Perimeter of PQR = 37 units (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using graph;
Coordinate of P = (-2 , -4)
Coordinate of Q = (16 , -4)
Coordinate of R = (7 , -7)
Find:
Perimeter of PQR
Computation:
Distance between two point = √(x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²
Distance between PQ = √(-2 - 16)² + (-4 - 4)²
Distance between PQ = 18 unit
Distance between QR = √(16 - 7)² + (-4 + 7)²
Distance between QR = √81 + 9
Distance between QR = 9.48 unit (Approx.)
Distance between RP = √(7 + 2)² + (-7 + 4)²
Distance between RP = √81 + 9
Distance between RP = 9.48 unit (Approx.)
Perimeter of PQR = PQ + QR + RP
Perimeter of PQR = 18 + 9.48 + 9.48
Perimeter of PQR = 36.96
Perimeter of PQR = 37 units (Approx.)
Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.
b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.
LCD is 12.
12 goes into 12 once. 12x1=12
12 goes into 60 five times. 12x5=60
You can divide the field into two squares of area 2500 yd^2. The side of each of those will be √2500 = 50 yd.
The dimensions of the field are 50 yd by 100 yd.
