The height of the teepee is 9.1651 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A right-angled triangle can be formed using the given information.

The length of the slanted sides represents the hypotenuse of the triangle. One of the other sides of this right-angled triangle measures 4 feet.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Assume the other side measures a length of x feet.

Step 2:

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

10^{2} = 4^{2} +x^{2}, 100 = 16 + x^{2} ,

x^{2} = 100- 16 = 84.

x = \sqrt{84} = 9.1651.

The height of the teepee is 9.1651 feet.

Jill and Ben have the same pens Jill has 3 full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens Ben has 2 full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens how
defon
Let x be the number of pens in a box.

Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14

Jill and Ben have the same pens. 
Jill        = Ben
3x+2    = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
      1x  = 12
         x = 12

To check:
Jill            =       Ben
3x + 2      =       2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2  =       2(12) + 14
36 + 2      =       24 + 14
           38 = 38

There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.

Suppose you buy 4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64. If you bought 8
Sophie [7]

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let A represent the cost of one bucket of apple and P represent the cost of one bucket of peaches.

So we have ,

4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64

8  buckets of apples and 3 buckets of peaches for $72

Writing this in the equation form we have,

4A + 5P = 64

8A + 3P = 72

Step 2:

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the required costs

Equation 1 is

4A + 5P = 64 , Multiplying this by 2 we have 8A + 10P = 128

Equation 2  = 8A + 3P = 72

Subtracting both we have , 7p = 56 = > P = 8

Substituting this in equation 1 we have

8A + 80 = 128 => A = 6

Hence the cost of one bucket of apple is $6 and the cost of one bucket of apple is $8.

Option D is the correct answer.
