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.

Need help on 9 don’t know if I did it right or not but I need help :p
solmaris [256]

Answer:

9b) -8 = y

9a) 72° = <em>m</em>∠<em>ABC</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have an angle trisector, in this case, <em>m</em>∠<em>CBE</em><em> </em>≅ <em>m</em>∠<em>DBA,</em><em> </em>therefore you <em>set</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em>equal to 8, plus, according to Morley's Trisector Theorem, all three angles form an equilateral triangle, so <em>m</em>∠<em>BOC</em><em> </em>also has to equal 24°:

{8}^{2}  - 5(8) = 64 - 40 = 24 \\  \\ 6(8) - 24 = 48 - 24 = 24 \\  \\ 2(8) - y = 24 >> 16 - y = 24 >>  -8 = y

Then, <em>m</em>∠<em>ABC</em><em> </em>comes from multiplying 3 by 24 [three <em>twenty-</em><em>four</em>'s], which results in 72°.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
