a park in the shape of a triangle has a sidewalk dividing it into

two parts.

600 ft

300v6 ft

sidewalk

300v3 ft

300 ft

300v3 ft

a. if a man walks around the perimeter of the park, how far will

he walk?

b. what is the area of the park?

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

Using the rise/run rule. you would get 2/6.simp. 1/3
