Answer:

d. 29ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem which states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the opposite and adjacent sides of a right angled triangle and c is the hypotenuse side

From the attached image, Let the length of the rope be x

x^{2} = 8^{2}+ 28^{2} \\

x^{2} = 64 + 784

x^{2} = 848

x =\sqrt{848}

x = 29.12

x≈29

The dimensions of a rectangle are given in
alexandr1967 [171]

Option A and Option F

The expressions that represent the perimeter of rectangle are 4s + 1 and 2(2s + \frac{1}{2})

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From figure,

Length = s

Width = s + \frac{1}{2}

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

perimeter = 2(length + width)

Substituting the values we get,

perimeter = 2(s + s + \frac{1}{2})\\\\perimeter = 2(2s + \frac{1}{2})

Thus option F is correct

On further simplification,

perimeter = 2(2s + \frac{1}{2})\\\\perimeter = 4s + 2(\frac{1}{2})\\\\perimeter = 4s + 1

Thus Option A is correct
