The length of a diagonal of a large square garden is 15 yards. What is the approximate length of one side of the square garden?

1 answer:

8 0

By the pythagorean theorem the diagonal length will be:

d^2=x^2+y^2 and since this is a square x=y so

d^2=2x^2 and since d=15

225=2x^2

x^2=112.5

x=√112.5 yds

x≈10.6 yds (to nearest tenth of a yard)

Answer:

$\sqrt{37}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d between a point (m , n ) and a line in the form

Ax + By + C = 0 , is calculated as

d = $\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }$

Here (m, n ) = (6, 2 ) and

6x - y = - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

6x - y + 3 = 0 → A = 6, B = - 1, C = 3

d = $\frac{|6(6)+-1(2)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }$

= $\frac{|36-2+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }$

= $\frac{|37|}{\sqrt{37} }$

= $\frac{37}{\sqrt{37} }$ × $\frac{\sqrt{37} }{\sqrt{37} }$

= $\frac{37\sqrt{37} }{37}$ ← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

= $\sqrt{37}$

Margie has a $50.00 budget to purchase $45.00 pair of boots. If there is an 8% sales tax rate then how much under budget will Ma

LuckyWell [14K]

She will be $1.40 under budget.

8% = 8/100 = 0.08

Adding this to 100% of the price of the shoes, we get 108% = 108/100 = 1.08.

We multiply the price of the shoes by this:
45*1.08 = 48.60

Subtract this from 50:
50 - 48.60 = 1.40
