Look at the picture of a scaffold used to support construction workers. The height of the scaffold can be changed by adjusting t

wo slanting rods, one of which, labeled PR, is shown:
A support structure is shown in which a right triangle PQR is formed with the right angle at Q. The length of PQ is shown as 14 feet, and the length of QR is shown as 9 feet..

Part A: What is the approximate length of rod PR? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Explain how you found your answer stating the theorem you used. Show all your work. (5 points)

Part B: The length of rod PR is adjusted to 18 feet. If width PQ remains the same, what is the approximate new height QR of the scaffold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show all your work. (5 points)

Answer:

Triangle PQR is a right triangle therefore you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of PR which is the same as the hypothenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:

(QP)² + (QR)² = (PR)²

(6)² + (14)² = 232 ⇒  (PR)² = 232  then PR = √232 = 15.23

If PR is adjusted to 16 feet then we use the Pythagorean theorem again to find the height QR

(QR)² + (14)² = (16)²

(QR)² = 256 - 196 = 60 ⇒ QR = √60 = 7.75.

Answer:

a) Unit price :

  • 12 cupcakes for $29 = $2.42
  • 50 cupcakes for $129 = $2.58

Reasoning:

  • 12 cupcakes for $29 = $29 ÷ 12 cupcakes which gives 2.416666667 and if rounded off gives you $2.42.
  • 50 cupcakes for $129 = $2.58 accurately.

b) 12 cupcakes for $29 gives the lowest unit price as $2.42 is less than $2.58.
