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

Fill in the table to convert the units of time from hours to minutes or minutes to hours.
tester [92]
Ok so first we need to under stand that 60 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour, by knowing this we should be able to answer the following. Our first box which needs to be filled in asking how many hours are in 300 minutes, well let’s figure this out. So we know that in 60 minutes it will be equivalent to one hours, so in order to find how many minutes are in 300 minutes we would divide 300 by 60 which give a us 5. Therefore causing the second box to me 5 hours. Our next and final box is asking how many hours are in four minutes well this one is a little harder than our previous one but I’ll help you through it. By following the same procedure as we did the previous question we are going to divide 4 by 60 and we know that dividing like so we are going to get a decimal but that’s ok it’s going to give us the answer we need to fill in the box. By dividing like so we should get a long decimal that look that this 0.066666666666667. I am going to simply this down to 0.0667. Causing my last box to be 0.667.
Summary:
second box: 5 hours
Third box: 0.0667 hours
Hope this helps!!!
Please tell me if I have made an error, I enjoy learning from my mistakes:)

No. of girls be g

No. of boys be b

g= 180

g/b = 4/3

b = 3g/4

b= 3(180/4)

b= 3*45

b= 135

.

Find b+g

= 135 + 180

= 315
