Divide 16 by 20 to find the percent.

16/20 = 0.8 = 8%

To check, multiply 20 by 0.08

20 x 0.08 = 16

Amber is an engineer designing a suspension bridge. She has a tower at each end of the bridge that will hang four diagonal cable
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer

she should find the length from where the tower begins to where the cable touches the ground, and use that number to be leg B, with the hight of the tower being constant and being leg A. then she uses the two numbers to find the hypotenuse of the new triangle. Repeat this with the other 3 cables and you have the answer! (Note: leg A's length will remain constant, but leg B's length will not because it is reliant on how far away the cables contact the ground in relation to the tower.)

Ken has a pole that is 26 inches long. He wishes to cut it into two pieces so that one piece will be 8 inches longer than the ot
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:

let x be the shorter piece

x + (x + 8) = 26                      (longer piece is 8 units longer)

Remove brackets

x + x + 8 = 26                 Combine like terms              

2x + 8 = 26                   Start isolating "x"

2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8           Subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 18

2x/2 = 18/2           Divide both sides by 2

x = 9                    shorter piece

The shorter piece would be 9 inches.

If you needed the longer piece too:

longer piece = x + 8

x + 8

= 9 + 8

= 17

The longer piece would be 17 inches.

Check your answer:

Longer + Shorter = 26           Substitute the lengths

17 + 9 = 26                    Add

26 = 26                same number

LS = RS                left side equals right side

The answer is correct.
