<h3>Given</h3>
A regular polygon with area 500 ft² and apothem 10 ft
Cost of fence is $7.95 per ft
<h3>Find</h3>
Part III The cost of fence around an area scaled to 60 times the size
<h3>Solution</h3>
You don't want to think too much about this, because if you do, you find the regular polygon has 3.087 sides. The closest approximation, an equilateral triangle, will have an area of 519.6 ft² for an apothem of 10 ft.
For similar shapes of scale factor "s", the larger shape will have an area of s² times that of the smaller one. Here, it appears the area scale factor s² is 60, so the linear scale factor is
... s² = 60
... s = √60 ≈ 7.7460
The perimeter fence of the 500 ft² area is presumed to be 100 ft long (twice the area of the polygon divided by the apothem—found in Part I), so the perimeter fence of the industrial farm is ...
... (100 ft)×7.7460 = 774.60 ft
and the cost to construct it is
... ($7.95/ft)×(774.60 ft) ≈ $6158
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the FOIL method and multiply it out, and you should get
16x^2+28x-28x-49
Simplify that and you get the answer.

What is your question..????
Answer:
The guy wire lenght is 500 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem says the sum of the squares two adyacent sides is equal to the square of the opposite side.
Applied in this example, we can rephrase it as:
The sum of the square of the pylon height with the square of the distance from the guy wire tip to the pylon is Equal to the square of the Guy wire lenght.
So:
For this case by similarity of triangles we can use the following relationship:
(x) / (9) = (5) / (15)
We clear the value of x:
x = ((5) / (15)) * (9)
Rewriting:
x = (1/3) * (9)
x = 3
Answer:
The value of x for this case is:
x = 3
