Answer:

700.39cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a horizontal distance of 30cm, the drop is 1cm, now we need to get the drop for horizontal distance of 700 cm to maintain the same slope

Using the concept of cross multiplication

30cm=1 cm drop

700 cm=x

30x=700

X=700/30=70/3=23 ⅓

Utilizing pythagoras theorem, the length of pipe will be

L=√(23⅓)²+700²

L=700.38878092417 cm

Rounded off, the length is approximately 700.39 cm

The sum of two consecutive odd intergers is 32. Find the intergers.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
So let the smaller integer be 2x+1 and the larger one be 2x+3. So 2x+1+2x+3 is 32. Simplifying, we get 4x+4=32. So subtracting 2 from both sides we get 4x+2=30. So dividing by 2 we get 2x+1=15. So 2x+3 is 17. So the numbers are 15 and 17
