Answer:
C) 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
you use the pythagorean theorem to find the height.
a² + b² = c²
a = radius
b = height
c = slant height
15² + h² = 17²
h = 8
20 feet, 12+12+L+L=64 so you simplify and it becomes 24+L+L=64. Take away 24 from 64 and you get 40. 40 divided by 2 equals 20, and you can plug 20 into the L spots and it all works.
Answer:
16 and 24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If we call the length of one piece x, the length of the other piece is x + 8, therefore, we can write the following equation:
x + x + 8 = 40
2x + 8 = 40
2x = 32
x = 16 so x + 8 = 16 + 8 = 24.
I'm going to take a guess and say 60, and the reason I say 60 is because I just thought 180 / 60 LOL
