The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x
x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
Answer:
A theorem stating that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other sides. It is mathematically stated as c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b the lengths of the other two sides.

Answer:
B. 25
Step-by-step explanation:
10+6=16
if it is proportional, then it would be 25 to get 15.
