Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey There!
To find the perimeter of any figure all you have to do is add up all of the side lengths
5+5+7+11+7+16=53
so the perimeter is equal to 51
Note: the 18 is from the bottom length of the figure
you would have to add the 5 and 11
the extra seven is from the very right side length
So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².
So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².
Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².
Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.
Now we can figure out that 4B=32.
Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.
This gives us B=8.
So the other side is 8 feet.
Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.
