Please help me to solve this Radical Expressions and equations word problem. Here is the question: Surveying. The length of each lot line of a swimming pool complex is shown.

Find the exact perimeter of the irregular shaped lot. Then approximate the perimeter to the nearest foot.

Here are the measurements:

The width is 10 sqrt 150 ft and 9 sqrt 96 ft. The Length is 7 sqrt 54 ft and 13 sqrt 24 ft

1 answer

No idea how the lines are laid out. But if it's perimeter you want, just add stuff up. Just as a start, I'd say

10√150 = 10√25√6 = 10*5√6 = 50√6
9√96 = 9√16√6 = 9*4√6 = 36√6
7√54 = 7√9√6 = 7*3√6 = 21√6
13√24 = 13√4√6 = 13*2√6 = 26√6

Now just add up all the terms, and factor out the √6
