Answer:

7, 11, 14 feet from shortest to longest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the shortest pipe is equal to x, and work from there.

The medium size piece is 4 feet longer than the shortest piece, so it is equal to 4+x

The longest piece is twice as long as the shortest piece, so it is equal to 2 * x.

The three pieces added up make up the 32 feet pipe, so we can write this as

(2*x) + (4+x) + x = 32

2*x + 4 + x + x = 32

4 * x + 4 = 32

subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

4 * x = 28

divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

x= 7

Therefore, the shortest piece is x=7 feet long. The medium piece is x+4=11 feet long, and the longest piece is x*2=14 feet long

Jack is at the zoo looking up at a monkey
sasho [114]

The height of the pole at which the monkey is at the top is 10.2 feet.

<h3>Trigonometric ratio</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the angles and sides of a right angled triangle.

Let h represent the height of the pole, hence using trigonometric ratio:

tan(23) = h/24

h = 10.2 feet

The height of the pole at which the monkey is at the top is 10.2 feet.

How do i find angle measurements in an isosceles triangle??
Sholpan [36]
In an isosceles triangles the sides that are congruent form two congruent angles...you should be given one of those angle measures or the other one...if you are given one of the angle measure formed by the congruent side you know the one opposite it is the same and you know all the measures of angles in a triangle = 180 so you should be able to find them all
