A rational number that is not an integer can be expressed in decimal form with a non-zero digit after the decimal
We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b = legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse
Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 + S^2+4S+4 = 100 cm^2 [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S = 100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0 means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm
Answer:
where is the expression??
Answer:
The area of tarpaulin is 1315.63 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
height, h = 20 feet
circumference, C = 102 feet
Let the radius is r.
Circumference, C = 2 x 3.14 x r = 102
r = 16.24 feet
Let the slant height is L.
The curved surface area is
S = 3.14 x r x L
S = 3.14 x 16.24 x 25.8 = 1315.63 ft^2
