Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.

The winning long jump at a track meet was 27 ft 10 in. Convert this distance to meters. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Allushta [10]

1 inch = 2.54 cm

27 feet 10 inches = 27 * 12 + 10 = 334 inches.

334 inches = 334 inches * 2.54 cm / inch = 848.36 cm

1 meter = 100 cm

x  = 848.36 cm

Cross multiply

848.36 cm * 1 meter = 100 cm * x   Divide both sides by 100

848.36 cm* meter/ 100 cm = x

8.48 meter = x

Answer 8.48 meters.

Bianca and Meredith are sisters. Meredith's height is 23 of Bianca's height plus 32 inches. Meredith is 60 inches tall. A girl i
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Bianca's height = 42 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Bianca height.

Given:

Meredith height = 60 inches

We need to find the Bianca height.

Solution:

From the given statement the Meredith's height is \frac{2}{3} of Bianca's height plus 32 inches, so the equation is.

Meredith's height = \frac{2}{3}(Bianca\ height)+32

Substitute Meredith's height in above equation.

60=\frac{2}{3}x+32

Now we solve the above equation for x.

\frac{2}{3}x=60-32

\frac{2}{3}x=28

By cross multiplication.

x=\frac{3\times 28}{2}

28 divided by 2.

x= 3\times 14

x=42\ in

Therefore, the height of the Bianca is 42 inches.

What is the answer please
Marina86 [1]
Hey there!

Use The Pythagorean theorem. It’s a^2+b^2=c^2. Plug in 11 and 60. The equation would be 11^2+60^2=c^2. Simplify to get 121+3600=c^2. Simplify again to get 3721=c^2. Sqaure root each side to get c=61. The answer is the last one, c=61.

I hope this helps!

A rectangular piece of land is 40m long and 25m wide. A path of uniform width and 426 m^2 area sorrounds
fredd [130]

Answer:

Width of the uniform path that surrounds the piece of land = 3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the path that surrounds the piece of land be x.

The situation described is sketched in the attached image to this solution.

The dimension of the Length of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it = (40 + 2x) m

The Breadth of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it = (25 + 2x) m

The area of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it

= (Area of the piece of land) + (Area of the uniform path that surrounds it)

Area of the piece of land = Length × Breadth = 40 × 25 = 1000 m²

Area of the uniform path that surrounds it = 426 m² (Given in the question)

The area of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it = 1000 + 426 = 1426 m²

But the area of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it is also

= (Length of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it) × (Breadth of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it

= (40 + 2x) + (25 + 2x)

= 1000 + 80x + 50x + 4x²

= (4x² + 130x + 1000) m²

Equation these 2 areas

4x² + 130x + 1000 = 1426

4x² + 130x - 426 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

x = 3 or -35.5

Since the width cannot be negative,

x = 3 m

Hope this Helps!!!

Triangle N T M is shown. Angle N T M is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point T to point U on side N M to form a right
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The value of y is 6\sqrt{3} units ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached figure

∵ ∠MTN is a right angle

∵ TU is the altitude of the triangle

- There are some rules in this triangle let us revise them

  • (NT)² = NU . NM
  • (MT)² = MU . MN
  • (TU)² = MU . NU
  • TM . TN = TU . MN

∵ NU = 9 units

∵ UM = 3 units

∵ MN = UM + NU

∴ MN = 3 + 9 = 12 units

- By using the 1st rule above

∴ (NT)² = 9 × 12

∴ (NT)² = 108

- Take a square root to both sides

∴ NT = \sqrt{108}

- Simplify the root

∴ NT = 6\sqrt{3} units

∵ NT is y

∴ y = 6\sqrt{3} units

The value of y is 6\sqrt{3} units
