Afarmer measures the distance around a rectangular field. the length of each long side of the rectangle is found to be 20.33 m, and the length of each short side is found to be 16.9 m. what is the total distance around the field? 1. two significant figures (130 m)2. five significant figures (134.56 m)3. whole number (135 m)4. tenths (134.6 m)5. three significant figures (135 m)6. hundredths (134.56 m)7. four significant figures (134.6 m)8. none of these

Distance of the farmer's rectangular field around the field = 74.46 m

In the given question,

Length of the rectangular field, L = 20.33 m

Width of the rectangular field, W = 16.9 m

Now,

The area of rectangular field is given by,

The total distance around the rectangular field is,

Distance = Perimeter of the the rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

Perimeter = 2(20.33 + 16.9)

Perimeter = 2(37.23)

Perimeter = 74.46 m

So,

Distance of the farmer's rectangular field around the field is = 74.46 m

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
