Answer: There are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Length of a ribbon is given by

7\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{15}{2}\ ft

Length of pieces of ribbon cut into strips is given by

2\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\ ft

So, we need to find the number of strips that can be cut is given by

\text{ Number of strips }=\frac{\text{Length of roll}}{\text{ Length of strip}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}\\\\=\frac{15\times 2}{2\times 5}\\\\=\frac{15}{5}\\\\=3

Hence, there are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:

a² = b²+c²

As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:

b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16

With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10
