Answer:

34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

If the room is 30 feet high at the center and 90 feet wide at the floor,

Entire width of the room = 90 feet = 2a

a = 90/2 = 45

Height of the room = b = 30 feet

Foci (c)² = a² - b²

c = √a² - b²

c = √45² - 30²

c = √1125

c = 33.541019662 feet

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 34 feet

Denise and Donna should each stand 34 ft from the outer wall so that they will be positioned at the foci of the ellipse

The conversion rate for US Dollars to Costa Rican Colones is 1 USD = 518 Colones.
allsm [11]

The cost of 0.5 kg of bananas is 393.60 Colones as per the given conversion rates

Conversion rate of 1 USD to Costa Rican Colones = 518 Colones

The conversion rate of kg to pounds given in the question: 1 kg = 2.2025 lbs

Cost of one pound of bananas = $0.69

Bananas required to be purchased = 0.5kg

Converting 0.5kg bananas to pounds = 0.5*2.2025 = 1.10125 pounds

Cost of 1.10125 pound of bananas in dollars = 1.10125*0.69 = 0.7598

Cost of 1.1025 pounds of bananas in Colones = 0.7598*518 = 393.60 Colones

Hence, the cost is 393.60

Therefore, the cost of 0.5 kg bananas in Colones is 393.60 Colones

A shelf is designed so it will fit in a 90º corner between two walls. The shelf has dimensions, rounded to the nearest tenth, as
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will fit snugly in a 90º corner

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we simply need to check if the given sides of the shelf is right-angled.

So, we have:

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{242

Side\ 1 = Side\ 2 = 11

To check for right-angle triangle, we make use of:

Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2 = Hypotenuse^2

This gives:

11^2 + 11^2 = \sqrt{242}^2

121 + 121 = \sqrt{242}^2

242 = \sqrt{242}^2

242 = 242

This shows that the given sides of the shelf is a right-angled triangle.

Hence, it will fit the wall
