Answer:

a. <em>about 187 feet</em>

b. <em>about 19 trees</em>

c. <em>about 228 dollars</em>

What we know:

  • 80 ft = hypotenuse
  • 35 ft = short side
  • x ft = long side
  • it is a <em>right</em> triangle

a. Find the perimeter of the field. <em>about 187 feet</em>

<u>solve for the missing side length ('x')</u>:

  1. 35^2 + x^2 = 80^2
  2. 1225 + x^2 = 6400
  3. x^2 = 5175
  4. x = 15sqrt(23) or approx. 71.92

<u>add all side lengths</u>:

  1. P = 80 + 35 + 71.92
  2. P = 115 + 72 (rounded)
  3. P = 187 ft

b. You are going to plant dogwood seedlings about every ten feet around the field's edge. How many trees do you need? <em>about 19 trees</em>

  1. divide perimeter by 10 187/10 = 18.7
  2. round 18.7 trees = about 19 trees

c. If each dogwood seedling sells for $12, how much will the trees cost? <em>about $228</em>

  1. multiply trees by cost of each $12 x 19 trees = $228
  2. about $228 for the trees

The triangle isosceles has two equal angles and two equal sides

The triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle -----> see the attached figure

AC=AB -----> radius of the circle

m ------> angles of the base of the isosceles triangle ABC

m ------> by central angle ( vertex angle of the isosceles triangle ABC)

Remember that

the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180\°

so

m

36\°+2m
