The minimum value for the function is -6
Let
and 

We have 
Therefore

We have the equation of a line:
.
Put the coordinates of the point (8, 1) to the equation of a line:


<em>subtract 11 from both sides</em>

Answer: 
6.9ft
So clearly in this situation the side length of the cloth is the square root of 48, which is 6.928.... closest to 6.9ft
In an isosceles triangle, there are two sides that are congruent.
In this case, AB and BC are congruent.
Knowing this, we know that AB = BC
Since we know the values of AB and BC, we can put them into the equation:
3x - 4 = 5x - 10
Subtract 3x from both sides:
-4 = 2x - 10
Add 10 to both sides to isolate 'x':
6 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 3
Now that we know the value of the variable, we just have to input it into AB's equation:
3x - 4 = 3(3) - 4
3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4
9 - 4 = 5
<u>AB = 5</u>
Good luck!
