Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is the measure around the outside of the field while area is a measure of what's inside the field. The field has 2 long straight lengths of 120 m each, so now we just need to find the circumference of the whole circle that is made by sticking each of the 2 rounded ends together. The circumference of the whole circle (both rounded ends stuck together) is
C = πd and
C = (3.1415)(50) so
C = 157.075
Now we add in the 2 straight edges of the field to get the perimeter:
P = 120 + 120 + 157.075 and
P = 397.075 m
The area requires that we find the composite area: that is, the area made up by the rectangle measuring 120 x 50, and the area of the circle that is made up of the 2 rounded ends.
The area of the rectangle is length times width: A = 120(50) so A = 6000
The area of the circle is [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex] so [tex]A=(3.1415)(25)^2[/tex] and the area of the circle is 1963.495.
Add these 2 areas together to get the area of the whole field:
6000 + 1963.495 = 7963.495 meters squared
