The amount of fencing needed to surround the perimeter of the picnic area of the park is 107 yards. Hence, the second option is the right choice.
In the question, we are informed that the triangle KLM, represents a section of a park set aside for picnic tables. We are also informed that the picnic area will take up approximately 400 square yards of the park.
We are asked for the amount of fencing needed to surround the perimeter of the picnic area of the park.
We know the area of a triangle can be found using the trigonometric area formula, Area = (1/2)ab sin C.
Using this in the given triangle KLM, we get:
Area = (1/2)(KL)(KM)(sin K),
or, 400 = (1/2)(KL)(45)(sin 25°),
or, KL = (400*2)/(45*sin 25°) = 800/(45*0.42262) = 800/19.017822 = 42.0658 ≈ 42 yd.
Thus, we get KL = 42 yards.
Now, the perimeter of the picnic area = the perimeter of the triangle KLM = KL + LM + MK = 42 + 20 + 45 yards = 107 yards.
Thus, the amount of fencing needed to surround the perimeter of the picnic area of the park is 107 yards. Hence, the second option is the right choice.
