Answer :
the measure of the remaining land after joining the two pieces and removing a 10-yard piece is 59 yards.
To find the measure of the remaining land after joining the two pieces and removing a 10-yard piece, we first need to add the lengths of the two pieces and then subtract the length of the piece that is removed.
Let's denote:
- Length of the first piece of land = 52 yards
- Length of the second piece of land = 17 yards
- Length of the piece removed = 10 yards
First, we'll add the lengths of the two pieces of land:
Total length of the joined land = Length of first piece + Length of second piece
[tex]\[ = 52 \text{ yards} + 17 \text{ yards} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ = 69 \text{ yards} \][/tex]
Now, we'll subtract the length of the piece that is removed:
Length of remaining land = Total length - Length removed
[tex]\[ = 69 \text{ yards} - 10 \text{ yards} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ = 59 \text{ yards} \][/tex]
Therefore, the measure of the remaining land after joining the two pieces and removing a 10-yard piece is 59 yards.
complete question given below:
A piece of land measures 52 yards and another piece measures 17 yards.
If both the pieces of land are joined and a piece of 10 yards is removed
from the joined land, what is the measure of the remaining land.
