<h3>Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>

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

Work Shown:

The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965

Use the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

566^2+x^2 = 965^2

x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2

x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )

x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate

x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place

From which set of dimensions could a triangle be constructed?
lutik1710 [3]
The longest side of the triangle has to be less than the sum of the two other sides.

A ⇒ 7 + 8 = 15 
B ⇒ 8 + 5 < 14
C ⇒ 6 + 3 < 10
D ⇒ 2 + 6 > 7

The answer is D, because the longest side length (7) is shorter than the two other side lengths (2 and 6).

dimulka [17.4K]
A. 95 feet

<span>B. 12, because that would get you 96 feet of board, and if you only got 11, then you would only have 88 feet of boards which is not enough.

Solve the equation -3(y-5)=24
ioda
-3(y-5) = 24...distribute through the parenthesis
-3y + 15 = 24....subtract 15 from both sides
-3y = 24 - 15
-3y = 9...divide both sides by -3
y = 9/-3
y = -3
