Answer:
4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 4 foot wide painting should be centered on a 12 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet (X) should be on each side of the painting, the following equation must be solved:
(Total wide of the wall - wide of the painting) / 2 = X
(12 - 4) / 2 = X
8/2 = X
4 = X
Therefore, 4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
Answer: C
Explanation: tan = opposite/adjacent. 8 is the opposite length from angle B and 15 is the adjacent length from angle B. so tan(B) = 8/15
Okay I'll try to show it step by step
Step 1. So first you need to recognise that the diagram is a right angled triangle, with the right angle being at the bottom. This means we can do Pythagoras' Theorem.
Step 2. Now that you know you can use Pythagoras' Theorem, you can apply it. If you don't know, the theorem is a² + b² = c², with, in this case, a being 5 and b being 8. This means we can do 5² + 8² = 25 + 64 = 89.
Step 3. From the previous step, we now know that the length of the side including x is √89, and because we know that part of this side is 3, if we subtract 3 from √89 we get the value of x, so: √89 - 3 = 9.434 - 3 = 6.434, which is your answer.
I hope this helps!
The answer I got is 178.72. U divided $8,936 by 2%
