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.

Just borrow from the 7 and take the 1 to the 2 and that will make it as 12 so then you subtract 12 - 4 and the answer will be 1,180

The sale price of every item in a store is 85% of its usual price.
Vladimir [108]

Answer

a. The backpack is $4.50

b. The sweatshirt is $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 30 x 0.15 = 4.50 (The 0.15 is from the price you are actually paying for the item. Because the item is 85% off, you are paying for 15% of the usual price. 15% as a decimal is 0.15 so you multiply that to the original price to find the amount u will pay.)

b. 18 x 0.15 = 2.70
