Answer:

58.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of each support rod can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle, such that the distance from centre is one leg and half the length of the rod is the other leg of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the radius of the grill.

<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>

The theorem tells us that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. For legs a, b and hypotenuse c, this is ...

c² = a² +b²

<h3>application</h3>

For the geometry of the grill, we can define a=7.5 and c=30. Then b will be half the length of the support rod.

30² = 7.5 +b²

b² = 900 -56.25 = 843.75

b = √843.75 ≈ 29.0473

The length of each support rod is twice this value, so ...

rod length = 2b = 2(29.0473) = 58.0947

Each support rod is about 58.1 cm long.

What is the irrational number in This set: 12.89, square root of 12 and 12/144 ?

kifflom [539]

Good night,

<span>Irrational numbers are those that can't be expressed as a fraction:

12.89 can be expressed as: </span> $\frac{1289}{100}$

$\frac{12}{144}= \frac{1}{12}$

<span>The above numbers can be expressed as a fraction, then the logical answer is: </span> $\sqrt{12}$

But we will check the answer:

$\sqrt{12}= \sqrt{2^{2}*3 } =2* \sqrt{3} =3.4641016...$

As you can see we can't express that number as a fraction, so that is te correct answer.

50 per cup. If we plug this in to each equation, you'll see that 12 granola bars equals $12, and 7 cups of yogurt equals $3.50, for a total of $15.50.

Find the difference.<br><br> 6rs – (-2rs)

lilavasa [31]

There is no difference, 6rs-(-2rs) if you get rid of the parenthesis you are left with 6rs- -2rs and two negatives make a positive therefore the answer will become 8rs... I hope this helps :)
