First turn 1/2 to 2/4 so you have a common denominator.
Next turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
11 3/4 --> 47/4 and 8 2/4 --> 34/4
Subtract:
47/4 - 34/4 = 13/4
Divide:
13/4 = 3.25
3.25/2 --> 1.625 or 1 5/8
Therefore, he will have to place it 1 5/8 feet from each side
Hope this helps!
As we know, slope (m) is equal to tan θ for a straight line :
So, we can say that it's a positive constant slope
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
10 + 8 = 18
18 x 2 = 36
Answer:
y-intercept: Put x = 0 in the equation y = 2x - 6 and solve for x. The y-intercept is -6.
Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.
Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20
Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive
The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.
