20
There are 10 feet of posts on each side. That means there are 40 feet of fencing in total. If you divide that by two (to represent posts being 2 feet apart) then you get 20. There are 20 posts needed.


To solve these type of problems you need to use the pythagoras theorem ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude².
Here,
- Altitude = 1.6 cm.
- Base = 1.2 cm
- Hypotenuse = x
Now, let's solve for x.
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²
x² = (1.2)² + (1.6)²
x² = 1.44 + 2.56
x² = 4
x = √4
x = <em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- So, the value of x is <em><u>2</u><u> </u><u>cm.</u></em>

- Pythagoras theorem can be used only in the cases of right-angled triangles. Here, it's given that the triangle is right angled so we can use this theorem.
- To solve the squares if decimals, take them as whole numbers & then just add the decimal points. For example, ⇨ for (1.2)², take it as 12² , then multiply 12 by 12, you'll get 144. Now, add the decimal place accordingly ⇨ 1.44 . So, (1.2)² = 1.44.
Answer:
p=7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (5p-4)=3p-7
(10p-8)=3p-7
10p=3p+1
7p=1
p=7

She will use 42 purple beads.
Explanation
We will use a proportion to solve this.
The ratio of blue to purple beads is 4:3, or 4/3.
We know she uses 56 blue beads and an unknown amount, x, of purple beads. This gives us 56/x.
Together, we have
4/3 = 56/x
Cross multiply:
4*x = 3*56
4x = 168
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 168/4
x = 42
