Answer: 14.96ft


Step-by-step explanation:

  1. To solve this exercise you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is:

a=\sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}}

Where a is the hypotenuse, and b and c are the other sides of the triangle.

2. You have that the sides given measures 12 inches. 1 feet has 12 inches. Therefore, this side measures 1 feet.

2. Then, when you  solve for one of the sides and substitute the values given in the problem into the formula shown above, you obtain that the length of  the side of the rigth triangle is:

 b=\sqrt{(15ft)^{2}-(1ft)^{2}}

b=4\sqrt{14}=14.96ft

<u>Answer:</u>

14.97 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have a right angled triangle with a side length of 12 inches and hypotenuse of 15ft.

To find the other side length, we will use the Pythagoras Theorem but before that, we need to make the units same for both the given sides.

Since 1 feet has 12 inches so we can use both the sides in ft to find the third side length.

a = \sqrt{b^2+c^2}

where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the rest of the sides of the triangle.

b = \sqrt{(15)^2-(1)^2}

b = \sqrt{224}

b = 14.97

Therefore, the third side length is 14.97 ft.

You have just arrived at summer camp. And your cabin, the counselor has each camper perform the super secret handshake with ever
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be

Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90

Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.
