The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in

Solve. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Remember to follow PEMDAS.

First, distribute 5 to all terms within the parenthesis

5(w - 1) = (5)(w) + (5)(-1) = 5w - 5

Next, simplify. Combine like terms

5w - 5 - 2 = 5w + 7

5w - 7 = 5w + 7

Next, isolate the variable. Add 7 to both sides, and subtract 5w from both sides

5w (-5w) - 7 (+7) = 5w (-5w) + 7 (+7)

5w - 5w = 7 + 7

0 = 14 (Untrue).

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 12 ft and 16 ft answer
Finger [1]
Use Pythagorus theorem: 

a²+b²=c²
(12)²+(16)²=c²
400=c²
√400=c 
20=c 

Therefore, the hypotenuse would be 20 ft. 

Hope I helped :)

Michelle found the area of a circle as 78.5 〖in〗^2. She used 3.14 for π. What is the radius of the circle? Explain how you found
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

r = 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle, A=78.5\ in^2

It is required to find the radius of the circle. The area of a circle is given by the formula :

A=\pi r^2

r is radius of the circle

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{\pi}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{78.5}{3.14}} \\\\r=5\ \text{inch}

So, the radius of the circle is 5 inches.

A certain building has a triangular shaped face to link up of the sides of the triangular base or 145 feet 257 feet in 290 feet
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

18617.66 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangular base

a=  145ft  ,

b = 257ft ,

c =  290ft

<u>calculate the area of the base  </u>

The base is a scalene triangle hence the area is calculated as follows

s = ( a + b + c ) / 2

  = ( 145 + 257 + 290 ) / 2 = 346

Area of triangle = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}  = \sqrt{346(201)(89)(56)}

                          = 18617.66 ft^2
