Answer:

  65.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of strings required to tie each vertex to the other three will be ...

  (4)(3)/2 = 6

Those strings will be perimeter strings plus two diagonal strings. The lengths of the perimeter strings are given as 12 ft and 7 ft. The lengths of the diagonal strings can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d² = 12² +7² = 144 +49 = 193

  d = √193 ≈ 13.892

Then the total length of all strings is ...

  L = 2(12.0 +7.0 +13.9) = 65.8 . . . . feet

The artist will need 65.8 feet of string.

Multiply and simplify to lowest terms when appropriate 11/9× 27/55
arsen [322]
11/9 * 27/55
First, you need to transform this expression to one fraction, by multiplying the numerators between each other and put the answer as one numerator, then the denominators and put the answer as one denominator.
11/9 * 27/55 = 297/495.
Now comes the simplifying. You need to divide both numerator and denominator by the same number, till you get an irreducible fraction (a fraction In which numerator and denominator can't be divided by the same number to get another whole number).
In this case, both 297 and 495 are divisible by 99.
297/99 = 3 and 495/99 = 5.
So 297/495 = 3/5.
3 and 5 can't be divided by a same number, so 3/5 represents the irreducible and simplified fraction.

You can re-check your answer (very important):
11/9 * 27/55 = 0.6
297/495 = 0.6
3/5 = 0.6
11/9*22/55 = 297/495 = 3/5
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)
