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.

Calculating Distance around a Polygon

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

12.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of the pentagonal garden has a length of 2.5 cm.

A pentagon has 5 sides.

Since the garden has congruent sides, all its lengths are equal.

Therefore:

Distance Walked by Tanya

= 5 X 2.5

=12.5cm

Tanya has walked 12.5cm in total.

Imagine you're cutting off all of the slanted sides, there would be 3. Now since there's 4 feet on one side and 9 on the other when you cut off the edges they have side which are 3 feet (the end number) and 2.5 (9-4=5/2=2.5) now since you have three pieces like this, so put 2 together and you get a shape which is 3feet by 2.5 feet. The area of this is 3*2.5 which is 7.5, cut that in half for the third piece and you get 3.25, added together that's 10.75 squared feet. Now don't forget the 3 by 4 and 3 by 5 pieces. That would be a total of 27 (3*4=12 3*5=15) 27+10.75=37.75 squared feet.
Let me know if I made a mistake any where :)

Given the following equation:

Alika [10]

Answer:

-62

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are going to solve the given expression.

We know that our f(x) equation is (-7)x - 3

Since we have to find what f(4) is, we would plug in 4 to x and solve.

Solve:

f(4) = -7(4) - 3

= -28 - 3

= -31

We are not done, we have to plug in our answer to the expression f(4 + f(4), since we now know what the value of f(4) is.

-31 - 31

-62

Your answer would be -62.
