Ok so what y ou want to do it to max space, lie it diagonally
use pythagoren theorem
first convert the units

4'=4 feet
8''=8 inches
convert to inches
4 feet times 12=48 inches

so
pythagorea theorem is
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse
a and b are legs
in a right triangle

8 and 48 are the legs
fidn hypotonuse

8^2+48^2=c^2
64+2304=c^2
2368=c^2
8√37=c
aprox
48.66=c
4 feet amd 0.66 inches

HELP!! ⚠️ In the diagram below, the two vertical segments are parallel. What is the total number of degrees in angles a, b, c, d
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

360°

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the properties of parallel lines, the following deductions can be made:

<a and <c are exterior angles of same side, therefore they are supplementary.

Thus,

m<a + m<c = 180°

<b and <d, are alternate interior angles, therefore, they are supplementary.

Thus, m<b + m<d = 180°.

The total numbers of degrees of a, b, c, d will all sum up to give 360°.

What is the value of the expression?
victus00 [196]
To solve this we are going to use the unitary circle and the fact that tan \alpha = \frac{sin \alpha  }{cos \alpha }

From our circle we can infer that sin\frac{5 \pi }{3}= \frac{- \sqrt{3} }{2} and cos\frac{5 \pi }{3}= \frac{1}{2}.

Since tan \alpha = \frac{sin \alpha }{cos \alpha }, tan\frac{5 \pi }{3}= \frac{\frac{- \sqrt{3} }{2}}{\frac{1}{2} }
tan\frac{5 \pi }{3}=- \sqrt{3}

We can conclude that tan\frac{5 \pi }{3}=- \sqrt{3}.

Seven less than a third of the sum of a number and two​
elena-s [515]

The number is 15.

   2x/3-7=3

   3(2x/3–7)=3×3

   2x-21+21=9+21

   2x/2=30/2

   x=15

Proof

   15×2=30

   30/3=10

   10–7=3
