(n+20)*2 = 99.2

distribute

2n + 40 = 99.2

subtract 40 from each side

2n = 59.2

divide each side by 2

n = 29.6

Wally is rebuilding his fence. Each section of the fence will have 12 vertical boards that are each eight inches wide. He’s goin
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Part A)

Each diagonal is about 9.43 feet.

Part B)

In total, Wally needs about 736.02 feet of wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Since each vertical board has a width of 8 inches, for one section with 12 vertical boards, the total width will be 8(12) = 96 inches.

96 inches is the same as 96/12 = 8 feet.

We are also given that the horizontal pieces will be 5 feet apart.

To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The 8 is the base and 5 is the height. Therefore:

\displaystyle d^2=8^2+5^2

Compute:

d^2=89

Taking the square root, we acquire:

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{89}\approx9.43 \text{ feet}

So, each diagonal is about 9.43 feet.

Part B)

For each section, we have two horizontal pieces (each 8 feet) and one diagonal piece (each √89 feet).

Therefore, for one section, we will need a total of:

\displaystyle L=8+8+\sqrt{89}=16+\sqrt{89}

Then for 30 sections, we will need:

T=30(16+\sqrt{89})

Approximate:

T\approx 763. 02

Wally will need about 736.02 feet of wood in total.
