Answer:

3 \sqrt{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the hypotenuse which is 18 since it slanted, and leans on the house. And we are given one of the legs which is 15 since it is vertical. We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for this problem.

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  = c {}^{2}

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse l.

Let plug it in

{a}^{2}  + 15 {}^{2}  =  {18}^{2}

{a }^{2}  + 225 = 324

{a}^{2}  = 99

a =  \sqrt{99}

a =  \sqrt{9 \times 11}

a = 3 \sqrt{11}

The perimeter of a stop sign is 99.2 inches. Each side of the stop sign is equal.
san4es73 [151]

Answer: The equation can be written as 8n = 99.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my answer, I used the variable n to distinguish itself as one side of the stop sign. 99.2 is the final perimeter in inches.

A stop sign is an octagonal shape (otherwise, it is made up of 8 equal sides). Therefore, with this information, you can interpret that the length of one side would be equal to the length of all of the other sides.

Hence, the answer can be represented as 8n = 99.2.
