A builder set up a wooden frame in which to pour concrete for a foundation to a house. The length of the wooden frame is 24 feet

. The width is 32 feet. The diagonal is 40 feet. Which best describes the foundation?
The foundation cannot be a rectangle: 24+32≠40

The foundation cannot be a rectangle: (24+32)^2≠40^2

The foundation cannot be a rectangle: √24^2+32^2≠40^2

The foundation may be a rectangle: 24^2+32^2=40

I have drawn a figure for the foundation of a frame with dimension 24 x 32 and diagonal.

For triangle ABD, if it's satisfy the Pythagorean theorem then ABCD will be a recatngle.

Pythagorean formula is:

a² + b² = c²

Where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the legs of the triangle.

From triangle ABD:

AB² +BD² = AD²

24² + 32² = 40²

576 + 1024 = 1600 Simplify each sides separately.

1600 = 1600

From above result , 1600 = 1600 is true.

So, ABD is a right triangle, similarly ACD will also be right triangle.

Hence, ∠B and ∠C are right triangles.

So, ABCD is a rectangle.

Hence, the last choice is correct.

Hope this helps you!.

a pitcher contains 40 fluid ounces of iced tea. Shelby pours 3 cups of iced tea. how many pints of iced tea are left?
lord [1]
Given;
40 fluid ounces of iced tea.

We know,
1 cup = 8 fluid ounce
1 pint = 2 cup

Now,
8 fluid ounce = 1 cup
1 fluid ounce = 1 / 8 cup
40 fluid ounce = (1 / 8) * 40 cup
So, 40 fluid ounce = 5 cup

Now,
We, used 3 cups of iced tea. So, we only have 2 cups of iced tea left.

We have,
2 cups = 1 pint

So, 1 pint of iced tea is left!
