If the length of the long wall is 12 feet and the length of the diagonal wall is 13 feet, how long is the shorter wall?

Answer:

The shorter wall is 5 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by visualizing the the long wall, short wall, and diagonal wall as a right triangle.

After doing so, the problem can be solved by utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sides must be equivalent to a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a b and c being the actual lengths of the sides of the triangle.

To begin, you would create the equation a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 (c always indicates the hypotenuse, but a and b are interchangeable for the remaining sides).

Then, you would find the square of 12 and 13, which would be 144 and 169, respectively. Thus, a^2 + 144 = 169.

Next, you would get a^2 by itself on the left side in order to solve for it by subtracting 144 from both sides, which grants the equation a^2 = 25.

Finally, after finding the square root of both sides, you get the final answer of a = 5. Thus, the shorter wall is 5 feet long.

Find the missing angle measure.
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all inner angles in the shape should be 540°

(180° for triangles, 360° for squares and other simple 4-corner-shapes, the pattern is the number of corners minus 2 multiplied by 180°)

we can calculate

540-106-94-135=205

so we got 205 degrees for the two unclear corners and one of them has to be 5° greater.

x is 100°

x is 100°x+5 is 105°

(note that in the subtraction part we could have subtracted 5 more and would be left with 2x=200)

One-fourth + one-sixth + one-third

<span>three plus two plus four /12 = 9/12 = 3/4 </span>

<span>So, balance = 1/4 = 1/4 times 20 = 5 pies which is the answer!

Hope this helps!! Pleaseeee,         Hit that Thanks button ;D</span>

Write and solve an equation to represent the following situation.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

6 + 7x = 27

x = 3cm

Step-by-step explanation:

so the question lets us know 3 things:

1) Sarah has a 27 ft pipe

2) she cuts 6 ft off

3) she cuts remaining pipe into 7 equal sections

what we don't know from the question is how big each of those 7 sections were. To form the equation we do this.

Since we know Sarah has 27 ft of pipe that would be our answer of the equation.

Sarah also removed 6 ft and the rest of the pipe she cut up into 7 small sections of equal length. since we don't know the length of the 7 smaller sections we will use the variable X to represent the length. this means that 6ft + 7x (X is the length of the pipes, and we multiply by 7 since there are 7 of them) must equal Sarah's total length of 27ft, therefore meaning our education would be

6 + 7x = 27

to solve for how long each pipe was, we need to solve for X by rearranging the equation as shown bellow.

7x = 27 - 6

7x = 21

x =  \frac{21}{7}

x = 3cm
