The length of the wire is 37.15 ft
<u>Explanation:</u>
The figure is attached for the reference.
tan (71) =
tan (36) =
So,
tan(36) (36 + x) = y
tan(71) =
Substituting x = 12.11 ft in equation 1:
Length of the wire, z =
So,
Therefore, the length of the wire is 37.15 ft
Answer:
a) 1.8
b) 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion and calculation of areas
The area of a rectangle is A=wh, where w is the width and h is the height. There are 3 feet in one yard
a)
We are told Kalie put 6 stickers, each one of 1/2 centimeters (0.5 cm) wide by 3/5 (0.6 cm) centimeter long. The area of one sticker is
A=(0.5)(0.6)=0.3
Assuming there is no overlapping, the 6 stickers have a total area
6*0.3 =1.8
b)
Each of Elana's wrapping papers measures 2/5 yards long and 1/4 yard wide. Converting them to feet we have
long=2/5*3=1.2 feet
wide=1/4*3=0.75 feet
Area of each paper=1.2 feet*0.75 feet=0.9
Area of the entire board, assuming no overlapping and no space left uncovered=4*0.9
Area of board=3.6
