A youth group is setting up camp. Rain is predicted, so the campers decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over their tent. The f

ly will be 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. The scouts are building the frame for the fly with two poles slanted and joined together at the top of the tent. What is the minimum length of the slanted poles needed to support the fly?

Most of the information's required for finding the answer is already given in the question. 
Height of the fly = 12 feet
Width of the fly = 16 feet
Now we can find the length of the poles using Pythagoras theorem.

Length of the poles = square root [(12)^2 + (8)^2]
                               = square root (144 + 64)
                               = square root (208)
                               = 14.4 feet
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the height of the poles needed to be 14.4 feet. I hope the answer has helped you.

What value, entered in the blank below, would make the two expressions equivalent? Expres
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The value is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in making the expressions on both sides of the equation equal. But we seek a particular value or number which when placed in front of the quadratic expression on the right hand side makes the equations equal.

To get this done with, we will need to factorize the expression on the left hand side of the equation.

Thus, we can write;

-27x^2 + 9x + 12 as 3(-9x^2 + 3x + 4)

What do we notice? we can see that the now factored quadratic expression resembles what we have on the right hand side asides there fact that we are not there yet in terms of sign.

Thus, we can finally write ;

-27x^2 + 9x + 12 as -3(9x^2 -3x -4)

This exactly gives the expression on the right hand side

Thus the value to place in the blank is -3

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (1,5) with a slope of-2
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, use the point and the slope in point-slope form. Then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 1)

y - 5 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 7
