Answer:

A.) The greatest possible distance between any of the stakes is 53 feet.

B.) A triangle with sides 15, 36, and 39 is a right triangle and has perimeter 90 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Fiona wants to rope off a triangular region in her yard for a vegetable garden. She has 90 feet of rope to use, she wants the distance between each stake to be an integer, and the distance between two of the stakes must be 36 feet.

To find - A. What is the greatest possible distance between any of the stakes?

B. If she wants to create a right triangular region and use all of the 90 feet of rope, what would be the lengths of the sides of the region?

Solution -

A.)

Let us assume that,

Length of side 1 = x

Length of side 2 = y

Length of side 3  = z

Now,

Given that,

She has 90 feet of rope to use

⇒x + y + z = 90

And

The distance between two of the stakes must be 36 feet.

So, Let z = 36.  

∴ we get

x + y + 36 = 90

⇒x + y = 90 - 36

⇒x + y = 54

Now,

Let x be as large as possible.

i.e. To make x to be large, y has to be as small as possible.

It happens when y = 1.

( We can not take y = 0, or else a triangle won't form)

∴ we get

y = 1

⇒x + 1 = 54

⇒x = 54 - 1

⇒x = 53

∴ we get

The greatest possible distance between any of the stakes is 53 feet.

B.)

We know that,

(5,12,13) is a Pythagorean triple.

Because 5² + 12² = 13²

So,

As, we have a Pythagorean triple,

This means a triangle with sides 5, 12, 13 is a right triangle.

Now,

If a triangle has sides 5, 12, 13,

⇒ The perimeter becomes 5 + 12 + 13 = 30.

By Triple each side we get,

Length of sides 15, 36, 39.

The perimeter i= 15 + 36 + 39 =  90

Also,

We can see that,

15² + 36² = 39².

This means we have a right triangle and (15, 36, 39) is another Pythagorean triple.

Because any scaled version of a Pythagorean triple, is also a Pythagorean triple.

∴ we get

A triangle with sides 15, 36, and 39 is a right triangle and has perimeter 90 feet.

Three-quarters of a pound of candy cost 66 cents. Find the cost of one pound<br> of candy.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$0.88 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to divide the 3/4 pounds by 3, and when you do that, you also have to divide the 66 cents by 3 as well, then multiply the 1/4 you get from dividing 3/4 by 3, and multiply it by 4 to get 1 pound, but when you do that, you have to do the same thing with the 22 cents you get from dividing 66 cents by 3, which will give you 88 cents per pound
