A city planner designs a park that is a quadrilateral with vertices at J(-1, 1), K (3, 3), L (5, -1), and M(-1,-1). There is an entrance to the park at the midpoint of each side of the park. A straight path
connects each entrance to the entrance on the opposite side. Assuming each unit of the coordinate plane
represents 10 meters, what is the total length of the paths to the nearest meter? Round your answer to
the nearest whole number.
The total length of the paths is approximately
meters.

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
