Answer:

50 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of the missing side. The pythagoreon theorem only works with right triangles such as this one.

a²+b²=c²

Where a and b are length of legs (sides) of a triangle. And c is the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the side across from the right angle.

We know by looking at the image posted in the question, that one leg of the triangle is 14 feet. And another leg is 48 feet. (Length of picnic area) (length of campground)

14²+48²=c²

Simplify

196+2304=2500

Find square root of 2500

√(2500)=50

So 14²+48²=50²

The missing side is 50 feet long. The fence is 50 feet long.

What is the slope if you have (1,1) and (-3,-2)?

Serga [27]

Given two points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) on a line, the slope =(Y2 - Y1) /(X2 - X1).

You are given the points (1,3) and (3,-2). Implying X1 =1 , Y1 =3, X2=3, Y2=-2

Use the formula for the slope above to answer the question. If you still have problems getting the correct answer, ask for more help.

Your answer should be a negative fraction or decimal if you are using a calculator.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>In Solving This You Need to Change It Into Improper Fractions First;</h3>

1 2/5×3 1/2

•You then multiply the 5 by the 1 and then add it to the 2 which is then going to be;

7/5× 3 1/2

•Then you multiply the 2 by the 3 and then add it to the 1;

7/5×7/2

•Then you proceed to multiply the first numerator by the second numerator and then also multiply the first denominator by the second denominator which will be;

14/10

After this you go on to simplify which is going to be;

7/5(NB: It was divided by two)

So mixed number in it's simplest form is going to be;

1 2/5

In Decimal form would have been; 1.4

Since the question is asking for mixed number in it's simplest form it's going to be;

1 2/5
