Answer:
If you are finding the Area in which you would need for the carpet would be A= 232 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A = lw
l = 16
w = 14.5
16 x 14.5 = 232 feet
Answer:
The shortest length of wire that can be used is 29.47 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can follow the following steps:
1) We have the dimensions of the floor of the room. The shortest distance between its opposite corners is the diagonal. We calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.

2) Since the speaker is on the ceiling, and the amplifier is on the floor, then 7 more feet of wire is needed to reach the speaker. <em>Observe the attached image</em>
3) The final distance (d) is:

Written out numerically, it is 4x4x4. To work this out you multiply 4x4= 16 and then you have one more 4 to multiply by, so you multiply 16x4=64
For the answer to the question above, just <span>use similar triangles.
</span>Here's the equations that I used.
<span>t/h = (x + t) / r </span>
<span>x + t = rt / h </span>
<span>x = rt / h - t
I hope my answer helped you in your problem, Have a nice day</span>
