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

(7/22) (44)=2r pls help
patriot [66]

Answer:r=7/7744

move all terms to the left:

(7/22)(44)-(2r)=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2r+(+7/22)44=0

multiply parentheses

-2r+7/22*44=0

multiply all the terms by the denominator

-2r*22*44+7=0

multiply elements

-1936r*4+7=0

multiply elements

-7744r+7=0

move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

-7744r=-7

r=-7/-7744

What is the area of a sector with a central angle of (2pi/3) radians and a diameter of 12 in?
Stels [109]

Answer:

The area of the sector is 37.68\ in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=12/2=6\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

A=(3.14)(6)^{2}

A=113.04\ in^{2}

step 2

Find the area of a sector with a central angle of (2pi/3)

Remember that

The area of 113.04\ in^{2} subtends a central angle of 2\pi \ radians

so

by proportion

Let

x----> the area of the sector

\frac{2\pi}{113.04}=\frac{(2\pi/3)}{x}\\ \\x=113.04*(2\pi/3)/(2\pi)\\ \\x=37.68\ in^{2}
