Answer:

So the answer would be no, because the length of the rope is needs to be 46 and 35 is not long enough

Step-by-step explanation:

A flagpole, rope and the length of secure point from the flagpole are forming the right triangle, where the rope is a hypotenuse. Let a = 45 and b = 10ft. Use Pythagorean Formula to find length of the rope c

a² + b² = c²

Since we are going to solve for c, we set up the equation like this:

c² = 45² + 10²  (Substitute into formula)

c² = 2,025 + 100 (Add)

c² = 2,125 (Simplify)

√c² = √2,125 (Take the square root from both sides)

c = 46.09772228646444 (Round to the nearest whole number)

c = 46

So the answer would be no, since the length of the rope needs to be 46ft long and a 35 foot piece of rope is not long enough.

Perimeter of rectangle is 48 inches area is 40 inches what are the length of the side
Aloiza [94]
\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}=p=side+side+side+side
\\\\
or\implies p=w+w+l+l\implies p=2w+2l
\\\\
p=2(w+l)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
w=width\\
l=length\\
------\\
p=48
\end{cases}\implies 40=2(w+l)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{area of it}=A=w\cdot l\qquad \begin{cases}
w=width\\
l=length\\
------\\
A=40
\end{cases}\implies 40=wl\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\bf thus\qquad 
\begin{cases}
40=2(w+l)\to \frac{40}{2}=w+l\to\frac{40}{2}-l=\boxed{w}
\\\\
40=wl\\
--------------\\
40=\left( \boxed{\frac{40}{2}-l} \right)\cdot l
\end{cases}

solve for "l" to find its length

Answer:

IJ = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Since HK = JK, then IK is a perpendicular bisector and Δ is isosceles, then

IJ = HI , that is

2s = s + 17 ( subtract s from both sides )

s = 17

Then

IJ = 2s = 2 × 17 = 34
