Answer:

29 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance along the ground from one stake to the tree, 21 ft, and the distance up the trunk from the ground, 20 ft, are the legs of a right triangle. The length of the wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.

a² + b² = c²

(21 ft)² + (20 ft)² = c²

c² = 841 ft²

c = √(841 ft²)

c = 29 ft

Answer: 29 ft

Rita finds the quotient of 584 divide by 17
Serga [27]

Answer:

Rita's answer in incorrect because the remainder that Rita got which is 23 is greater 17 which is the divisor. 17 can still go in 23 1time to have a remainder of 6. Hence Rita's answer is wrong with 34R6 being the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient is the required answer if 584 is divided by 17

584 will be the dividend and 17 is the divisor.

To calculate 584/17, 17 will go in 58 3times with 7 as remainder. This remainder 7 will combine with 4 to make 74, 17 will also go in 74 4times with remainder of 6.

The final answer by combining the number of times 17 goes in 584 which is 34 with final remainder of 6. This means that;

584/17 = 34 remainder 6 i.e 34R6

This shows that Rita's answer in incorrect because the remainder that Rita got which is 23 is greater 17 which is the divisor. 17 can still go in 23 1time to have a remainder of 6. Hence Rita's answer is wrong with 34R6 being the correct answer.

What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

6l², where l is the length of one side.

If the side is increased 10 times,

6(10l)²

=100 x6l²

The surface area increases 100 times. Thus, the new surface area is

272 * 100

= 27,200 sq in
