Answer:
If both sides are integers, one side will be 4 feet and the other will be 6 feet. The other solution is the symmetrical solution (4 feet instead of 6 feet, and 6 feet instead of 4 feet).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a rectangular blanket, that has a diagonal that measures h=7.21 feet.
The two sides of the rectangle a and b can be related to the diagonal h by the Pithagorean theorem:
Then, we can express one side in function of the other as:
Then, if we define b, we get the value of a that satisfies the equation.
A graph of values of a and b is attached.
If both side a and b are integers, we can see in the graph that are only two solutions: (b=4, a=6) and (a=4, b=6).
15 goes into 18 once with 3 remainder.
18/15-15/15=3/15=1/5
So the answer is:
18/15-15/15=3/15=1/5
So the answer is:
