A town wants to put a sidewalk across a popular park. They have measured the dimensions of the park to use in calculating the length of the proposed sidewalk. Find the sidewalk length to the nearest tenth of a yard.
Responses
A. 76.3 yards
B. 105 yards
C. 81 yards
D. 69.5 yards
We would need the dimensions of the park in order to calculate the length of the sidewalk. Please provide the dimensions of the park.
The detentions of the park are 40yd and 65yd.
To calculate the length of the sidewalk, we can use the perimeter formula for a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice the sum of its length and width.
Given:
Length of the park = 65 yards
Width of the park = 40 yards
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2(65 + 40)
Perimeter = 2(105)
Perimeter = 210 yards
Therefore, the length of the proposed sidewalk is 210 yards, to the nearest tenth of a yard. None of the provided options match the calculated length, so none of the given options are the correct answer.
To find the length of the sidewalk across the park, we need to know the dimensions of the park. Since the question does not provide the dimensions, we are unable to directly calculate the length of the sidewalk.
To find the answer, we would need to know the length or width of the park. With this information, we could calculate the diagonal length of the park using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where a and b are the length and width of the park, and c is the diagonal length.
Once we have the diagonal length of the park, we can use that as the length of the sidewalk. However, since the question does not provide these dimensions, we cannot determine the correct answer.
Therefore, the answer to this question cannot be determined based on the given information.
