You can multiply the number of laps each person ran by the yards in each lap and then add them together:
440 + 2(440) + 3(440) + 4(440)
= 440 + 880 + 1,320 + 1,760
= 4,440 yards
Or you can add the laps first, then multiply by the yards in each lap
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)(440)
= 10 x 440
= 4,400 yards
21.6 units
Calculate the length of the 2 inclined sides using the distance formula
d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )
d = √(3 + 3 )² + (4 - 3)² = √(36 + 1 ) = √37
repeat for (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 3 )
d = √(3 + 3 )² + (- 3 - 3 )² = √(36 + 36 ) = √72
the vertical side has a length of 7 units
perimeter = √37 + √72 + 7 = 21.6 ( nearest tenth of a unit )
Evaluation of square root 169 = 13, so 10 + 13 = 23
Between 7/8 and 14/15 the bigger value is the 7/8. When comparing to fractions you need look on the denominator of the fractions the smaller the denominator the larger the fraction. Thank you for posting your question here. Hope it helps.
I didn’t know which problem you specifically needed help with, but I hope this helps.
