Answer:

42 feet of string

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw a diagram of the string, the height and the angle.

the length of the string is equal to the hypotenuse of the triangle

let length of the string=x

sin(θ)=opp/hyp

sin(72°)=40ft/x

x=40ft/sin(72°)

x=42.05848897ft≈42ft

How many eighth-size parts do you need to model 3/4? explain
Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>The way I understand this question is: "how many of one eights (1/8) can fit into 3/4 - so mathematically we would write: 3/4 divided by 1/8. Dividing by a fraction is multiplying by its inverse, so we have 3/4 multiplied by 8, which is 3*8/4, we simplify by dividing 8 and 4 by 4: 6/1, that is 6 - the answer is 6!Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span><span />

Select the statement that explains the error in the given statement.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

D. The three points could be the vertices of a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • collinear points : points are said to be collinear if they lie on the same line.
  • so, any three given points need not be collinear because, they can even be the vertices of a triangle.
  • this is explained in the option D so, it is correct.
  • option A is wrong because, those three points can be collinear also i.e if we put three points on a line, then they will be collinear.
  • option B is wrong because, it is saying that they do not have to be collinear. but the fact is, they can be collinear.
  • option C is wrong because, four points also need not be collinear. they can be vertices of a square!
