We would need the dimensions of the park in order to calculate the length of the sidewalk. Please provide the dimensions of the park.
The detentions of the park are 40yd and 65yd.
To calculate the length of the sidewalk, we can use the perimeter formula for a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice the sum of its length and width.
Given:
Length of the park = 65 yards
Width of the park = 40 yards
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2(65 + 40)
Perimeter = 2(105)
Perimeter = 210 yards
Therefore, the length of the proposed sidewalk is 210 yards, to the nearest tenth of a yard. None of the provided options match the calculated length, so none of the given options are the correct answer.
