Answer: The garden has dimensions 30 ft wide X 60 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote by W the width of the garden and L the length of the garden (longer side) as in the figure attached. The red sides on the figure represent the parts of the garden that require fencing.

L is also the measure of a vertical side of the garden, because a rectangle consists only of vertical and horizontal sides.

We know that the barn is parallel to the longer (vertical) side, so only one of the vertical sides L of the rectangle needs fencing. The other two parts correspond to the horizontal sides of the rectangle so they require 2W feet of fencing. Altogether, the 120 ft of fencing enclose the L+2W ft of the fence, then 120=L+2W. Because the longer side is twice the width, we have that L=2W, so 120=2W+2W=4W. From here, W=30 ft and L=2(30)= 60ft.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:  The approximate values that every player make are,

Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

Alex = 11.43 Baskets

Joan = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Grace made x baskets.

Then According to the question,

Jenny made baskets = 3x

Alexis made basket = x + 6

Joan made basket = x - 4

Tammy made baskets = x

Since,  Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

⇒ 7x = 38

⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286  ≈ 11.43

Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

≈ 1.43

How to use the Pythagorean theorem to provee if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle. Plz help
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the Pythagorean theorem to prove if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle, you will square 7 and add it to the square of 14. The square root of the sum will be equal to 28 if it is a right angle triangle. Otherwise, it is not.

(7^2 + 14^2) = 49 + 196

245

Find the square root of 245

Square root = 15.65

Since it is not 24, the triangle is not a right angle triangle.
