Answer:
36 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.
Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)
I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.
Therefore he needs 36 boards
the assumption here being that both lines JH and FH are tangent lines to the circle, if that's the case the external angle of 34° is the angle made by the equal tangents, meaning the triangle is an isosceles with twin sides.
In an isosceles triangle the twin sides make also twin angles, so the angles at J and F are twins, and they'd be 180° - 34° = 146° total, since they're twins, each one takes half, or 73°.
W + L = 122
W = 3L + 14
3L + 14 + L = 122
4L + 14 = 122
4L = 122 - 14
4L = 108
L = 108/4
L = 27 <=== they lost 27 games
W = 3L + 14
W = 3(27) + 14
W = 81 + 14
W = 95 <=== they won 95 games
