Q:

What is the meaning of the point (25, 20)?The corral uses 20 + 25 = 45 feet of fencing.The corral uses 20(25) = 500 feet of fencing.The corral has dimensions of 25 feet long and 20 feet wide.The corral has dimensions of 20 feet long and 25 feet wide.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:(25, 20 ) represents that the dimension of the coral is 25 feet long and 20 feet wide.Step-by-step explanation:The general representation P(x,y) represents the Cartesian Representation of a point in a 2 Dimension. Here, x represents the distance of the point   P from y axis to the x axis. and y  represents the distance of the point   P from x axis to the y axis. (x, y) together gives the  2 dimensional representation of the point P.Now here, the given coordinates are (25, 20)So, here x = 25 and y = 20So, (25, 20 ) represents that the dimension of the coral  is 25 feet long and 20 feet wide. Hence, option 3 is the most appropriate.
