Answer:

87.73 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the rectangular doorway are,

Length = 6 ft 8 inches = 80 inches and Width = 3 feet = 36 inches.

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we will find the diagonal of the rectangular doorway.

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=length^{2}+width^{2}

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=80^{2}+36^{2}

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=6400+1296

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=7696

i.e. Hypotenuse = ±87.73 inches

Since, the length cannot be negative.

So, the length of the diagonal is 87.73 inches.

As, the largest side of a rectangle is represented by the diagonal.

So, the largest dimension that will fit through the doorway without bending is 87.73 inches.

Two integers, a and b, have a product of 24. What is the least possible sum of a and b?

The highest scorer of the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 114 more points than Tina Harner, her
Harman [31]

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:

Answer: Bradley scored 854 points and Harner scored 748 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by representing the problem mathematically.  "B" will represent Bradley's score, and "H" will represent Harner's score.

B+H=1602 represents that the sum of the scores is 1602.

B-H=106 represents that Bradley has 106 more points than Harner.

Now, combine the like terms in the two equations to get 2B=1708 .  Now divide each side by two to find that Bradley scored 854 points.

Now, we can just subtract Bradley's score from the total score to get Harner's score.  1602-854=748, so Harner scored 748 points.

Can someone explain box plots
slamgirl [31]

The correct answer is C because the lowest number is 4 ( out of all the numbers ), which is the dot to the above the number 4 and the largest number is 14, that is also marked by a dot above the number 18. The medians are ( the middle number ) 8 and 10, so you are going to add these to numbers together, 8 + 10 = 18, and then you have to divide it by 2, 18 ÷ 2 = 9, which means the median is 9, which is the middle line. For the 1st quartile, you have to add both the 7's and divide by 2, 7+7=14 ÷ 2 = 7, so then the 1st quartile is 7, the line closest to the 4, repeat this for the 3rd quartile, 11 + 13 = 24 ÷ 2 = 12, 3rd quartile = 12, the line closest to the number 14.
