Answer:

The length of the pen is <u>26.25 feet</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Blake will use part of a garage wall as one of the long sides of a rectangular dog pen. Blake   wants the dog pen to be three times as long as it is wide.

The plan of Blake is to use 70 feet of fencing.

Now, to get the length of the dog pen.

Let the width of the pen be x.

So, the length of the pen be 3x.

As, Blake plans to use 70 feet of fencing.

So, the pen's perimeter = 70 feet.

Now, to get the length we use formula:

Perimeter=2(length+width)\\\\70=2(x+3x)\\\\70=2\times 4x\\\\70=8x\\\\

<em>Dividing both sides by 8 we get:</em>

8.75=x\\\\x=8.75\ feet.

Then, to substitute the value of x:

Length=3x\\\\Length=3\times 8.75\\\\Length=26.25\ feet.

Therefore, the length of the pen is 26.25 feet.

The roof of the building shown below has a span of 48 feet. The rafters upon which the roof is laid are 30 feet long, including
anyanavicka [17]

Solution :

Given :

Span of the roof = 48 feet

Length of the rafter = 30 feet (including the 4 feet overhung)

So, for the 30 feet long rafter, 26 feet will be rafter length from the high point of the roof to the edge of the roof and 4 feet will be the roof overhung.

Therefore, the horizontal span per rafter is

$=\frac{48}{2}$

= 24 feet

a). So the rise of the roof is $= \sqrt{(26)^2-(24)^2}$  

                                         = 10 feet

b). Pinch of the roof is $=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$

                                     $=\frac{10}{24}$

                                     $=\frac{5}{12}$

c). The percent of the roof used as overhung is

     $=\frac{4+4}{60}\times 100$

     $=\frac{80}{6}$

       = 13.33 %
