A rectangular field measures 616m by 456m. Fencing posts are placed along it's sides at equal distances. What will be the distance between the posts if they are place as far apart as possible?

766.41m

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem for one triangle.  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the diagonal distance between corners of the field, which is the distance between the posts if they are placed as far apart as possible ) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

c^2 = 616^2 + 456^2  

c^2 = 379,456+207,936  

c^2 =587,392

c = √587,392

c = 766.41m

So, she is within the area serviced by the tower (20 miles)  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3

could u provide us some answer choices or hmm idk maybe a table for us to anser with ? ?
