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

How would I find x?​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

f(x) = y

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) always equals y, so the equation would be y = 7. therefore, I am pretty sure that x = y, but you may want to wait to ask your teacher. If there is more detail, message me!

The area of a rectangle is expressed as (14r + 21) square feet. If the width of the
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

 L  = 2r  + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Area of rectangle  = 14r + 21

Width of the rectangle  = 7ft

Unknown:

Length of the rectangle  = ?

Solution:

If the length of the rectangle is designated as L;

 Area of a rectangle = Length x width

Now insert the parameters:

           14r + 21   = L x 7

            L  = \frac{14r + 21}{7}  

           L  = 2r  + 3

A rectangular table is fivetimes as long as it is wide. if the area is 80ftsquared​,find the length and the width of the table.
SOVA2 [1]
A = L * W
A = 80
L = 5W

80 = W(5W)
80 = 5W^2
80/5 = W^2
16 = W^2
sqrt 16 = W
4 = W <=== width is 4 ft

L = 5W
L = 5(4)
L = 20 <=== length is 20 ft
