WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!! Look at the picture of a scaffold used to support construction workers. The height of the scaffold ca

n be changed by adjusting two slanting rods, one of which, labeled PR, is shown: Part A: What is the approximate length of rod PR? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Explain how you found your answer, stating the theorem you used. Show all your work. Part B: The length of rod PR is adjusted to 17 feet. If width PQ remains the same, what is the approximate new height QR of the scaffold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show all your work.

Answer:

A). PR = 16.13 ft

B). QR = 9.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (A).

From the figure attached,

ΔPQR is a right triangle,

m(PQ) = 14 ft

m(QR) = 8 ft

By applying Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

(PR)² = (PQ)² + (QR)²

(PR)² = (14)² + (8)²

PR = √260

     = 16.125

     ≈ 16.13 ft

Part (B).

If PR = 17 feet

and PQ = 14 feet

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR,

PR² = PQ² + QR²

(17)² = (14)² + (QR)²

(QR)² = 289 - 196

QR = √93

     = 9.644

     ≈ 9.64 ft

What is the value of the arithmetic series below?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

- 494

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking down the summation into it;s component parts

= 4k - \frac{3}{2} k(k + 1) ← substitute k = 19

= (4 × 19 ) - 1.5 × (19 × 20)

= 76 - (1.5 × 380)

= 76 - 570

= 494

CAN ANYONE HELP ME ASAP?!? PLEASEEE! I’ll give brainliest! <br> 1-4
liraira [26]

Answer:

35 degrees

42 degrees

x = 8 degrees

x = 7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

m <1 = 70/2 = 35 degrees

2)

m <1 = 84/2 = 42 degrees

3)

6 + 4 x = (9 x + 4) / 2

12 + 8 x = 9 x + 4

12 - 4 = x

x = 8 degrees

4)

3 x - 1 = x + 13

2 x = 14

x = 7 degrees
