Based on the dimensions of the support for the slides, the missing length and slide length is 15 yards.

The number of 3-yard straight pieces needed is 15 straight pieces.

<h3>What number of straight pieces are needed?</h3>

The length of a single slide is the hypotenuse of the triangle which can be found using the Pythagoras theorem as:

Hypotenuse² = 9² + 12²

Hypotenuse = √(81 + 144)

= 15 yards

If a single slide is 15 yards, then 3 slides would be:

= 15 x 3

= 45 yards

The number of 3-yard straight pieces needed are:

= 45 / 3

= 15 pieces

If the public debt of the United States in 2004 was $7,379,052,696,330.32 and the budget deficit in 2005 was $553,656,965,393.18

slava [35]

Since there is a shortage in the budget in 2005 by 553,656,965,393.18, the total debt that of the United States in 2005 will be the public debt by 2004 added with this deficit in the budget. Having said that, the public debt by 2004 should be equal to,
$ 7.9327 x 10^12
