Answer:

17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture for the situation:

  __________<u>15m</u>___________

  |                                                     |

b |                                                     |  8m

  |________________________|

                             a

We can assume the floor is a rectangle. Cut the triangle diagonally in half.

The rectangles has all right angles and is composed of two right triangles.

Use the Pythagorean formula and solve for the length of the hypotenuse to find the distance between two the opposite corners. I labelled two of the sides a and b.

The formula is: a² + b² = c² , where c is the distance. Substitute the side lengths a and b and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²

15² + 8² = c²

Simplify:

225 + 64 = c²

c² = 289

c = √289

c = 17

The distance between two opposite corners on the floor is 17 metres.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We know that KH is a diameter of the circle and that along angles along it on either side adds up to 180° as it's a straight line.

-Therefore, we have that:

m\angle a+ \angle GaH=180\textdegree\\\\\\m\angle a=180-35\\\\=145\textdegree

Hence, the angle a is equal to 180°

b.We know that GJ is a diameter of the circle and that along angles along it on either side adds up to 180° as it's a straight line.

-Therefore, we have that:

m\angle b+\angle GaK=180\textdegree\\\\m\angle b=180\textdegree -145\textdegree\\\\\\\\=35\textdegree

Hence, the angle b is equal to 35°

Solve for g: C = 1/2gk
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

G = \frac{C(2)}{k}

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 1/2gk

First you want to multiple both sides by 2 to get rid of that fraction and you get

C (2) = gk then you divide both sides by k to isolate the g and your left with

G= \frac{C(2)}{k}

Hope this helps

Tatiana [17]
<em> Given that:</em> 100 copies = $3.10

<em>Find cost of 1 copy:</em>
1 copy = $3.10 ÷ 100 = $0.031 

<em>Find the cost of 155 copies: </em>
155 copies = $0.031 x 155 = $4.81 (nearest hundredth)
