Answer:

b 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the rectangle = 7 ft

Diagonal length of the rectangle = 16 ft

Let the length of the rectangle = l ft

Then,

\[l^{2}+7^{2}=16^{2}\]

\[=> l^{2}+49=256\]

\[=> l^{2}=207\]

\[=> l=sqrt{207}\]

\[=> l=14.39\]

This can be approximate by 14 ft

Among the given options, option B is the correct one.

Answer: b. 14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the rectangle, the opposite sides are equal. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two equal right angle triangles. The diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right angle triangles. The length and width represents the opposite and adjacent sides of the right angle triangles.

To determine the length, L of the rectangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

16² = L² + 7²

256 = L² + 49

L² = 256 - 49 = 207

L = √207

L = 14.38

the closest to the length of this rectangle in feet is

14ft

A volleyball reaches its maximum of 13 feet, 3 seconds after it is served. What quadratic formula could model the height of the
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

H=-(t-3)^2+13

Step-by-step explanation:

The path covered by the volleyball will be a downward parabola with the vertex being the highest point of the ball.

A general form of a downward parabola is given as:

y=-a(x-h)^2+k

Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola and 'a' is a constant.

Now, let 'h' be the vertical height and 't' be the time taken.

So, the equation would be of the form:

H=-a(t-h)^2+k

Now, as per question:

h = 2 seconds, k = 13 feet.

H=-a(t-3)^2+13

Now, taking a = 1. So, the formula that can be used is:

H=-(t-3)^2+13

Answer:

I think the answer is $56,600

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure you're just going to add $63,000+$8,400+$2,900+$1,1000. Then when you get a total of $75,400 and then I think you are going to subtract $15,400 from $75,400, you should get $60,000 then subtract $3,400 and you get $56,600.
