Answer:

180.4 inches (15.033 feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we convert 15.3 feet to inches. We do this by multiplying 15.3 by 12. This gets us 183.6. Now, we subtract 3.2 from 183.6. This gets us 180.4. That means the piece cut off of 180.4 inches long. To convert this to feet, we divide by 12. That gets us 15.033. That means the piece cut off is 180.4 inches long, or 15.033 feet long.

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you need to find the scale factor. This is done through cross multiplying proportions. In this instance, you have to cross multiply x/4 by 3.5/7. When you multiply x and 7, you get 7x. When you multiply 3.5 and 4, you get 14. Simplify by isolating the variable, and you get 2.

Mary crocheted a rectangular blanket whose diagonal measures approximately 7.21 feet. What are the most likely length and width

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

If both sides are integers, one side will be 4 feet and the other will be 6 feet. The other solution is the symmetrical solution (4 feet instead of 6 feet, and 6 feet instead of 4 feet).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular blanket, that has a diagonal that measures h=7.21 feet.

The two sides of the rectangle a and b can be related to the diagonal h by the Pithagorean theorem:

$a^2+b^2=h^2$
