Which of the following situations best describes the situation modeled by P = 2(1,000 feet) + 2(875 feet)?
Answers
Option A and Option B are correct.
The technology company asks the general contractor to calculate how many linear feet of ficus hedge are needed to surround the warehouse lot.
The technology company asks the general contractor to create a model to calculate the perimeter of the warehouse lot.
Explanation:
Given Situation: P = 2(1,000 feet) + 2(875 feet)
Given options are:
A. The technology company asks the general contractor to calculate how many linear feet of ficus hedge are needed to surround the warehouse lot.
B. The technology company asks the general contractor to create a model to calculate the perimeter of the warehouse lot.
C. The technology company asks the general contractor to create a model to calculate the area of the warehouse lot.
D. None of the above.
We need to find the model which describes the given situation.
Consider option A.
Given that, the technology company asks the general contractor to calculate how many linear feet of ficus hedge are needed to surround the warehouse lot.
Measuring the surrounding means calculating perimeter and 1,000 feet is the length and 875 feet is breadth.
So, we can say that option A involves finding of perimeter of the situation.
We know that formula of perimeter is P = 2L + 2B.
Hence, P = 2(1,000 feet) + 2(875 feet).
Consider option B.
We know that formula of perimeter is P = 2L + 2B.
Where, P is the perimeter, L is the length and B is the breadth.
If we observe option B, we can say that P is the perimeter, 1,000 feet is the length and 875 feet is breadth.
Therefore, the given situation is modeled by option A and Option B.
