Question

the figure below shows a rectangular field.
79 yd
27 yd
(a) use the calculator to find the area and perimeter of the field.
make sure to include the correct units.
area:
perimeter:
(b) nicole will walk around the field.
which measure would be used in finding how long it will take?
perimeter area
(c) the field will be covered by artificial turf.
which measure would be used in finding the amount of turf needed?
perimeter area

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of rectangle

Area = length × width = $79 \times 27 = 2133$ square yards

Step2: Calculate perimeter of rectangle

Perimeter = 2×(length + width) = $2×(79 + 27) = 2×106 = 212$ yards

Step3: Identify measure for walking around

Walking around uses perimeter (distance around the field).

Step4: Identify measure for turf

Turf covers the surface, so uses area.

Answer:

(a) Area: 2133 square yards
Perimeter: 212 yards
(b) Perimeter
(c) Area
