Answer: The hook would be 2.2 inches (approximately) above the top of the frame

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for further details.

The top of the picture frame has been given as 9 inches and a 10 inch ribbon has been attached in order to hang it on a wall. The ribbon at the point of being hung up would be divided into 5 inches on either side (as shown in the picture). The line from the tip/hook down to the frame would divide the length of the frame into two equal lengths, that is 4.5 inches on either side of the hook. This would effectively give us two similar right angled triangles with sides 5 inches, 4.5 inches and a third side yet unknown. That third side is the distance from the hook to the top of the frame. The distance is calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem which states as follows;

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Where AC is the hypotenuse (longest side) and AB and BC are the other two sides

5^2 = 4.5^2 + BC^2

25 = 20.25 + BC^2

Subtract 20.25 from both sides of the equation

4.75 = BC^2

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

2.1794 = BC

Rounded up to the nearest tenth, the distance from the hook to the top of the frame will be 2.2 inches

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The different single-scoop ice-cream cones can you buy from this vendor=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  vendor sells ice cream from a cart on the boardwalk. He offers vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, and pistachio ice cream, served on either a waffle, sugar, or plain cone.

Different types of icecreams are 4

Types of cones are 3

For each ice cream say we can have either waffle, sugar or plain cone.

i.e. for each type of ice cream, we have 3 different cones.

Hence for 4 types of ice creams we have 3*4=12 different single scoop ice creamcones.
