A local businessman bought a square plot of land. The sides of the lot measure 32 feet on each side. He decides to split the lot

into two equal-sized right triangles by putting a fence down the diagonal. Approximately how many feet of fencing will he need?

Answer:

The sides of a right triangle all right triangles fall under the identity a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Thus, if you draw the picture, you know that both a and b will be 32 feet. You plug 32 in, and get 32^2 + 32^2 =2048. The square root of 2048=45.25 ft. Thus, the diagonal will be 45.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the correct formula to figure out equal sided right triangle

In a word processing document or on a separate piece of paper, use the guide to construct a two column proof proving that lines
ohaa [14]

Answer:

See the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statement     </u><u>                                                         </u><u>   Reason</u>

1.∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles     ---           Given  

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°     ---                  Linear pair, they are supplementary                                

3. m∠1  and m∠3 are supplementary angles --  m∠1 + m∠3= 180

                                                                              (Supplementary angles add upto 180 degrees)  

4.  m∠1 and m∠3           ------                                 Exterior sides in opposite rays

5.   m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠1 + m∠3  ------                       Transitive property  

6.    m∠2 = m∠3                     --------------                Subtraction  property

7.   l || m  ------------- If two lines are cut by transversal the alternative interior

                               angles are the same, then the lines are paralle.

Thank you.

An employee at a homemade wooden toy store earned $860 over the past week. The employee needs to pay 14% for Federal Income Tax
Sindrei [870]
Answer:
$713.8

Explanation:
14%of 860 = 120.4

3% of 860 = 25.8

so, subtract the sum of the above 2 values from 860.

860 - (120.4+25.8) = 860-146.2 = 713.8

Hope this helps

Max was on vacation twice as long is Jared and half as long as Wesley. The boys were on vacation a total of three weeks. How man
nasty-shy [4]
To begin with, the question is asking for the answer in days, so let's change 3 weeks to days. There are 7 days in 1 week; 3 weeks times 7 days = 21 days.
21 total days of vacation.

Max + Jared + Wesley = 21 days
(Let's use the first letter of their name to represent their vacation time)

M + J + W = 21 [This is the equation we'll be coming back to]

Now, we can use the clues given in the question to have an equation for each variable/boy. 

Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared. We can interpret this as  M= 2J Max was on vacation only half as long as Wesley. We can interpret this as M = (1/2)W.

So far we have these three equations: M + J + W = 21M = 2J M = (1/2)W

To have an equation for each individual boy, we must rearrange the last two equations in the list.

First, M = 2J.
Divide both sides by 2
M/2 = 2J/2
(1/2)M = J

Second, <span>M = (1/2)W
Multiply both sides by 2
2M = W

New equations:
</span><span>M + J + W = 21 [From the old list]
</span>J = (1/2)W
W = 2M

Now we can substitute the last two equations into the first one. 
M + J + W = 21
M + (1/2)W + 2M = 21
[Combine Like Terms]
<span>(7/2)M = 21 
</span>
Then, solve for M (Max's vacation days):
Multiply both sides by 2/7
(\frac{2}{7})* (\frac{7}{2}m)= (\frac{2}{7})*(21)
M = 6

Now we know Max was on vacation for 6 days.

If Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared, that means Jared was on vacation HALF as long as Max.

So...
<span>J = (1/2)M 
J = (1/2) * 6
J = 3
Jared was on vacation for 3 days 
</span>
Wesley was on vacation twice as long as Max so...  W = 2M 
W= 2*6
W = 12
Wesley was on vacation for 12 days. 

Let's double check our answer:
M + J + W = 21 days<span>6 + 3 + 12 = 21   
The numbers work out so the math is correct. Hope this helps and makes sense!</span>
