The length of the diagonal and the shorter base are 17. 24 feet and 18. 7 feet long respectively.

<h3>How to determine the length</h3>

The cosine rule is given as;

c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos \alpha }

c = length of the diagonal

a = base length = 22 feet

b = 7 feet

c = \sqrt{7^2 + 22^2 - 2 * 7 * 22 cos 40}

c = \sqrt{533 - 308 * 0. 7660}

c = \sqrt{533 - 235. 93}

c = \sqrt{297. 072}

c = 17. 24 feet

Using sine rule

\frac{a}{sin A }  = \frac{c}{sin C}

\frac{a}{sin 70}  = \frac{17. 24}{sin 40}

Cross multiply

a × sin 60 = c × sin 70

a × 0. 8660 = 17. 24 × 0. 9397

a = \frac{16. 20}{0. 8660}

a = 18. 7 feet long

Thus, the length of the diagonal and the shorter base are 17. 24 feet and 18. 7 feet long respectively.

Answer: maybe 50.9

Step-by-step explanation: we can use the pythagorean theorem A^+B^=C^

36 x36 = 1,296

1,296 + 1,296 = 2,592

square root of 2,592 = 50.911688245431421756860794071549 rounded to 50.9

so your answer maybe 50.9

Sara has $65 and wants to buy the following items from a store. Board game: $14.95 Building blocks: $25.49 Art kit: $35.79 At th
valina [46]

The correct statement is Sara can afford to purchase the items because the final price of the items is $60.

The first step is to determine the total cost of the items Sara wants to buy. The total cost can be determined by adding the cost of the items together.

Total cost = $14.95 + $25.49 + $35.79 = $76.23

The second step is to determine the cost of the items after the discount.

Price of the items = total cost x (1 - discount)

= total cost x (1 - 1/4)

total cost x 3/4

$76.23 x 3/4 = $57.17

The third step is to determine the cost of the items after tax.

Cost = (1.05) x $57.17 =$60.03
