Answer:

The distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars is 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the diagram four reference.

Given:

the slide is 12 feet due west of the tire swing

So according the diagram;

TS = 12 feet

Also Given:

slide is 16 feet due south of the monkey bars.

So according the diagram;

MS = 16 feet

We need to find the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars.

according to diagram we need to find the MT.

Solution:

assuming it to be right angle triangle with right angle at S.

we have;

In Δ MTS;

\angle S = 90\°

TS = 12 feet

MS = 16 feet

Now applying Pythagoras theorem which states that;

"Sum of the square of the two side of the triangle is equal to square of the hypotenuse."

framing in equation form we get;

MT^2=TS^2+MS^2

Substituting the values we get;

MT^2= 12^2+16^2= 144+256 =400

Taking square root on both side we get;

\sqrt{MT^2}=\sqrt{400} \\ \\MT =20\ ft

Hence the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars is 20 feet.

In this problem, you add 21 and 29. That results in 50 and you can either:
1. Divide 29 by 50 and multiply 100. 29/50= .58 * 100= 58% or
2. Since percentage is based on 100 and the denominator is 50, multiply the top and bottom by 2 like so.
29 x 2 =  58
---    --    -----  so that makes your percentage 58.
50 x 2 = 100

Hope this is clear enough.

Width be X,  length is X+15

area of garden = x(x+15)
area of sidewalk =  x(x+15) - (x-4)(x+11) = 632

X^2 + 15X - X^2 - 7X + 44 = 632
8X = 632-44 =588

X= 73.5  >> WIDTH  and LENGTH = 88.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given h=30 when x=150 we get

a(150)^2=30

a=30/22500=1/750 so

h(x)=x^2/750
