Answer: She would need 60 ft of border material.

Step-by-step explanation: Olga has a triangular flower bed, which means her flower bed is three sided. Also it has been stated that she has 20 feet of border material available. which will fit perfectly around the bed. This also means the perimeter of her flower bed is 20 feet.

Assuming the sides of her flower bed are labeled as a, b and c. Then a plus b plus c would equal 20, since the perimeter is the addition of all sides of the triangle.

However, she intends to triple the length of each side of the flower bed, and that would translate into the sides being 3a, 3b and 3c respectively. This effectively triples the length of the perimeter which is shown as,

Perimeter = a + b + c

20 = a + b + c

3(20) = 3a + 3b + 3c

60 = 3a + 3b + 3c

Therefore, she is going to need more border material and that is calculated as 60 feet.

Answer:

60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a triangle has 3 sides, in this case we will call them a, b and c.

It tells us that everything is material, it measures 20, that is:

a + b + c = 20

They tell us that she wants to triple each side and to know how much material she would need in total. Then it would be:

border material need = 3 * a + 3 * b + 3 * c

common factor 3:

border material need = 3 * (a + b + c)

border material need = 3 * 20

border material need = 60

Which means that she needs a total of 60 feet of material.

Angie earns $9.00 an hour at her job. • She works 15 hours a week. • She receives a 5% raise. How much more money will she earn
12345 [234]

First we have to find how much she earns each week before the raise. For this we multiply Angies earnings per hour by the amount of hours she works per week:

9.00\times15=135

Angie earns $135 per week. Now she get's a raise of 5%. We need to find 5% of $135 and then add it to $135:

\text{raise}=135\times\frac{5}{100}=135\times0.05=6.75

After the raise, Angie earns $6.75/week more than before the rise. So:

135+6.75=141.75

Angie will earn $141.75 a week after the raise

The minimum and maximum distances from a focus to a point on an ellipse occur when that point on the ellipse is an endpoint of t
Sauron [17]
The answer is True.

Explanation:
Let a =  major axis
Let b = minor axis
Let c =  focal length.

Consider the right focus, located a distance c from the center of the ellipse (at the origin).
From the right focus to the right point on the major axis is equal to a-c. This is the minimum distance.
From the right focus to the left point on the major axis is equal to a+c. This is the maximum distance.
