Hi there,
I think the answer is
14
Have a nice day
Answer:
The umbrella will fit in, but there will be a lot of extra room.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the Pythagorean theorem:
x^(2) + y^(2) = n^(2)
where "x" and "y" are the legs of the right triangle and "n" is the hypotenuse
In this problem it is given that the sides (legs) are:
38in, and 24in
and diagonally across is 29in
so the hypotenuse is 29in
therefore we can form the equation:
38^(2) + 24^(2) = 29^(2)
without solving it is clear that
38^(2) + 24^(2) > 29^(2)
because 38 is a leg, but it is greater than 29, which means that 38 - 24 - 29 is not a Pythagorean triple,
but because 38 > 29, then the 29 in umbrella will fit into the suitcase, but it will not be a snug fit, there will be a lot of extra room
The other factor is (y - 3). If you multiply the two terms together, you will end up with
:
The number is 300, the number is 300 hundred because numbers 1-4 you round down, numbers 5-9 you round up.
