When comparing to thing with same rate, set up a proportion:
Inches/cost
13/.78=33/x
(13)(x)=(.78)(33) [cross multiplied]
13x=25.74 [simplified]
13/13x=25.74/13 [division property]
x=1.98
33 inches of wire will cost $1.98.
Answer:
800m
Step-by-step explanation:
this would be solved using Pythagoras theorem
we are to find the base
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = length
b = base
c = hypotenuse
600² + b² = 100²
b² = 10000 - 3600
b² = 6400
take the square root of both sides
b = 800m
