Please have a look at diagram attached.

We can use Pythagorean theorem to find lenght of each wire.

x^2 = 16^2 + 12^2

x^2 = 256 + 144

x^2 = 400

x = 20

Lenght of one wire is 20

Hence lenght of two wires would be 20 * 2 = 40 feet : Answer

Hope it will help you :)

1. Discuss the differences between the measurement of the surface area and the measurement of the volume of a right rectangular
AlekseyPX
Surface area=area needed to wrap a box
volume=amount of space in the box

surface area=2hl+2hw+2wl=2(hl+hw+wl)
volume=hlw
h=height
l=legnth
w=width


a. surface area is the outside area. lets say you have a cardboard cube and cut it on all the corners and edges so you ended up with 6 squares, the total areas of those squares is the surface area of the cube
volume is how much stuff can be put into the cube, we measure how many 1 by 1 by 1 cubes can fit into the object or how much water can fit in the cube

b. surface area is 2 dimentional since it is area and can be folded flat so the units would be square feet or square inches (ft^2, in^2)
volume is 3 dimentional since it is legnth width and height so it would be cubic foot, cubic inch (in^3, ft^3)

c. surface area=wrapping paper, wrapping stuff, painting an object
volume=how much water can fit in pool, how much punch to put in the jar to fill it up,  which water bottle to bring so you have enough water

How do you add/subtract radical operations? I know how to simply and stuff, but how do you do things like 4 square root of 2 plu
LuckyWell [14K]
U get a calculator and u put 4^2+7^4 n u put it in the calculator but the pic shows what a sqaure root looks like n u see the button with the x2 u can press that for when u put the 4 square root 2 then plus 7 n then u hit the button that has this symbol ^ n hit 4 then equal an itll give u the answer which is 2417.

Whats is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,-1) and (-2,-5)
Alchen [17]
You just subtract the x's and subtract the y's. So it will be 3- -2 and -1 - -5. Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive so your answer will be 5/4.

What is the y- intercept of y= -3x
faltersainse [42]

Answer: (0,0) or y=0

In order to find the y-intercept, we need to find the point that crosses the y-axis. To find that x=0 or (0,y)

When x=0, y=0 on the graph since there are no transformations.
