3. The sidewalk will cover the perimeter, which is 110 + 200 + 100 + 200 = 620 yards
4. If the length of any one side of the square is x, then the area is , and the perimeter is
4x. if the area is twice the perimeter, By factoring, we see
this equation is equivalent to , which has solution 0 and 8. The length
cannot be 0, so we choose 8.

6. The smallest angle will correspond to one of the smallest sides or to a side with length 3.
Since the two smallest sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles, and the there will be two
angles with the given measure. Therefore, the remaining angle will have a measure of
180-30-30=120, largest angle is 120.
