9514 1404 393

Answer:

  927 ft

  914 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths are half the sum plus or minus half the difference:

  1841/2 ± 13/2 = {1854/2, 1828/2} = {927, 914} . . . feet

__

Let x represent the shorter length. Then x+13 is the longer length. Their total is ..

  x +(x +13) = 1841

  2x = 1841 -13

  x = (1841 -13)/2 . . . . half the sum minus half the difference

Then the longer length is ...

  x+13 = (1841/2) -(13/2) +13

  x +13 = (1841/2) +(13/2) . . . . half the sum plus half the difference

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?<br> A 3/2<br> B 2/3<br> C -3/4<br> D - 2/3
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

D. -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is going down, it is negative

Think of this: Rise/Run

In this case, rise is when you are going up or down the graph

Run is when you are going to the right of the graph

Let's use 2 points (0,3) and (3,1)

Since you are going three points to the right we are going to put 3 in for run

You are going 2 places down, so we are going put -2 in for rise

This gives us -2/3

Another way to do this is (1-3)/(3-0) = -2/3

Draw a right triangle.

tan(theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan(theta) = \frac{10}{14}

Arctangent (tan^-1) can be used to find theta.

tan^{-1}(\frac{10}{14})=theta

theta\ is\ approx\ \boxed{36\ degrees}
