Claire had 4 1/6 feet of string. She used some string to hang out decorations. Now she has 1 5/6 feet of string left. How much s
1 answer:
Answer:
Length of string used by Claire = 7 / 3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of string Claire in starts = feet
Length of string Claire in end = feet
Find:
Length of string used by Claire
Computation:
Length of string Claire in starts = feet = 25 / 6 feet
Length of string Claire in end = feet = 11 / 6 feet
Length of string used by Claire = Length of string Claire in starts - Length of string Claire in end
Length of string used by Claire = [25 / 6] - [11 / 6]
BY taking LCM
Length of string used by Claire = [25 - 11] / 6
Length of string used by Claire = 14 / 6
Length of string used by Claire = 7 / 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the hypotenuse associated with each pair of legs. That tells you ...
c² = a² +b² . . . . . legs a, b; hypotenuse c
__
<h3>alternate form of Pythagorean theorem</h3>For the purpose of this problem, it is convenient to consider a slightly different form of the equation.
For legs √a and √b, the hypotenuse √c is given by ...
(√c)² = (√a)² +(√b)²
c = a +b
That is ...
legs √a, √b ⇒ hypotenuse √(a+b)
__
<h3>application to this problem</h3>Since the legs are (mostly) given in terms of square roots, the value under the radical for the hypotenuse is simply the sum of those:
legs: √1, √2 ⇒ hypotenuse √(1+2) = √3
legs: √2, √3 ⇒ hypotenuse √(2+3) = √5
legs: √5, √3 ⇒ hypotenuse √(5+3) = √8
legs: √5, √1 ⇒ hypotenuse √(5+1) = √6

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may not see the leg lengths given as square roots very often. This is a rather unusual set of problems for hypotenuse length.
