You can make a tent by throwing a piece of cloth over a clothesline, then securing the edge to the ground with stakes so that an

isosceles triangle is formed. How long would the cloth have to be so that the opening of the tent was 8 feet wide and 3 feet high?

Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.

<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>

The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.

That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:

= √(6² + (8 /2)²)

= √(36 + 16)

= 7.2 ft

As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:

= 7.2 x 2

= 14.4 ft

Mr. Martin’s math test which is worth 100 points has 29questions. Each problem is worth 2points or 5 points. X represents number
adell [148]

Answer:there are 14 5point problems and 15 2point problems on the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents number of 5 point questions and y represents questions worth 2 points.

The total number of questions in the test is 29. It means that

x + y = 29

x = 29 - y

Mr. Martin’s math test is worth 100 points. It means that

5x + 2y = 100 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 29 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5(29 - y) + 2y = 100

145 - 5y + 2y = 100

- 5y + 2y = 100 - 145

- 3y = - 45

y = - 45/-3

y = 15

x = 29 - y = 29 - 15

x = 14

The perimeter of a ractangle is 28 units what is the value of w
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

W=5

Perimeter=2(L+W)

2(L+W)=28

2(2W-1+W)=28

2(3W-1)=28

6W=30

W=5

The bull’s-eye on a target has diameter 2 in. What is the area of the bull’s-eye to the nearest tenth? Use 3.14 for π
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

20.3cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Bullseye has a circular shape. So area of a bulleyse = Pi x (radius) ^2

Díameter is 2 inches = 5. 08cm

But radius = diameter /2

Radius = 5.08cm /2

Radius = 2.54cm

Hence Area of bulleyse = 3.14 x (2.54) ^2

= 3.14 x 6. 451 cm^2

= 20.256 cm^2

=20.3cm^2 (to nearest tenth)
