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.

if 3 half-gallon containers of ice cream on sale for $6.69,what is the price for 2 half-gallon containers?​
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Answer:  $4.46</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

3 containers = 6.69 dollars

3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 container = 2.23 dollars

2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2

2 containers = 4.46 dollars

A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3

Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.

Fill in the blank with a constant, so that the resulting expression can be factored as the product of two linear expressions: 2a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

2ab - 6a + 5b - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2ab - 6a + 5b + \_

Required

Fill in the gap to produce the product of linear expressions

2ab - 6a + 5b + \_

Split to 2

(2ab - 6a) + (5b + \_)

Factorize the first bracket

2a(b - 3) + (5b + \_)

Represent the _ with X

2a(b - 3) + (5b + X)

Factorize the second bracket

2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})

To result in a linear expression, then the following condition must be satisfied;

b - 3 = b + \frac{X}{5}

Subtract b from both sides

b - b- 3 = b - b+ \frac{X}{5}

- 3 = \frac{X}{5}

Multiply both sides by 5

- 3 * 5 = \frac{X}{5} * 5

X = -15

Substitute -15 for X in 2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{-15}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b - \frac{15}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b - 3)

(2a + 5)(b - 3)

The two linear expressions are (2a+ 5) and (b - 3)

Their product will result in 2ab - 6a + 5b - 15

<em>Hence, the constant is -15</em>
