Answer:453rft
Step-by-step explanation:
No he cannot bc 61 is an odd number
To solve this word problem, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Our side lengths are 10 and 24ft.
So, we can plug them in for a and b.
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = 676
Then, we need to find the square root of 676.
sqrt676) = 26
So, the missing length or the hypotenuse is 26 feet.
Therefore, we require 26 feet of string to measure the length of the hypotenuse in which the room is split in half.
The distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
27 - 18r = 9·3 - 9·2r = 9(3 - 2r)
