Answer:

Part A)

Each diagonal is about 9.43 feet.

Part B)

In total, Wally needs about 736.02 feet of wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Since each vertical board has a width of 8 inches, for one section with 12 vertical boards, the total width will be 8(12) = 96 inches.

96 inches is the same as 96/12 = 8 feet.

We are also given that the horizontal pieces will be 5 feet apart.

To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The 8 is the base and 5 is the height. Therefore:

\displaystyle d^2=8^2+5^2

Compute:

d^2=89

Taking the square root, we acquire:

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{89}\approx9.43 \text{ feet}

So, each diagonal is about 9.43 feet.

Part B)

For each section, we have two horizontal pieces (each 8 feet) and one diagonal piece (each √89 feet).

Therefore, for one section, we will need a total of:

\displaystyle L=8+8+\sqrt{89}=16+\sqrt{89}

Then for 30 sections, we will need:

T=30(16+\sqrt{89})

Approximate:

T\approx 763. 02

Wally will need about 736.02 feet of wood in total.

Ostrovityanka [42]

The 3 pack cost $9.45

3 single cartons would have cost: 3 x 4.20 = $12.60

Difference in cost: 12.60 - 9.45 = $3.15

Percent savings : 3.15/ 9.45 = 0.3333

0.333 x 109 = 33.33%
