Answer:
The shortest length of wire that can be used is 29.47 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can follow the following steps:
1) We have the dimensions of the floor of the room. The shortest distance between its opposite corners is the diagonal. We calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.
2) Since the speaker is on the ceiling, and the amplifier is on the floor, then 7 more feet of wire is needed to reach the speaker. <em>Observe the attached image</em>
3) The final distance (d) is:
Answer:
∠RST = 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the positions of the lines and angles will match the attached figure. The angle addition theorem gives a relation that can be solved for x, then for the value of angle RST.
∠RSU +∠UST = ∠RST
__
78° + (3x -12)° = (6x +12)° . . . . . substitute given values into the above
54 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3x+12
108 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
120° = (6x +12)° = ∠RST . . . . add 12, show units
The measure of angle RST is 120 degrees.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Note that we don't actually need to know the value of x (18) in this problem. We only need to know the value of 6x.
