cab (front) of the truck weighs 22,150 pounds, and the trailer (back) of the truck weighs11,300 pounds when empty. In pounds, how much cargo can the truck carry and still be allowed to cross the bridge?
Part I: Write an equation or inequality that models this situation. Let c be the cargo weight. Show your work.

)Part II: Solve the equation or inequality you wrote in Part I for c. What does this tell you about how much cargothe truck can carry and still be allowed to cross the bridge?

Part I

The weight of the truck without cargo is 22150+11300= 33450 pound
The weight of the cargo is given as c and altogether with the weight of the truck, the sum must not exceed 75500

The inequality is given 33450+c \leq 75500

Part II
33450+c \leq 75500
c \leq 75500-33450
c \leq 42050

Hence, the maximum weight allowed for the cargo is 42050 pounds

Many televisions are classified by the length of the diagonal of their screens. A 60 in. television has a screen height of 32 in
Colt1911 [192]
The 60 inch is diagonal of or the hypotenuse of the TV so we are going to use a^2+b^2=c^2 and let width to be a, then we solve the problem.
a^2=c^2-b^2
oh, take the square root of both sides.
a=((c^2-b^2))^(1/2)
plug 60 for c, 32 for b, and the Width is equal to 50.75 for significant figures.
