10. to get from point a to point b you must avoid walking through a pond. to
avoid the pond, you must walk 34 meters south and 41 meters east. to the
nearest meter, how many meters would be saved if it were possible to walk
through the pond?

show work

22 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pond between two points A and B.

To avoid the pond, one must walk to the south from point A to point C (say) by 34 meters and then to the east from point C to point B by 41 meters.

Now, it is clear that Δ ABC is a right triangle with AB as the hypotenuse that is the minimum distance from A to B through the pond.

The two legs of the right triangle are AC and CB.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, AB² = AC² + CB² = 34² + 41² = 2837

⇒ AB = 53 meters (Rounded to the nearest meter)

Therefore, (34 + 41) - 53 = 22 meters will be saved if it were possible to walk through the pond. (Answer)

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
