The fencing line x is the height of a rectangle triangle of base = y, hypothenuse of 9 m, so we use Pythagoras theorem to solve:
hyp^2 = height^2 + base^2
9^2 = x^2 + y^2
x^2 = 81 - y^2
we can see that x is also the height of another rectangle triangle of base = 15 - y, hypothenuse of 12 m, so we use Pythagoras theorem to solve:
hyp^2 = height^2 + base^2
12^2 = x^2 + (15 - y)^2
lets expand:
144 = x^2 + 225 - 30y + y^2
substitute x^2 from the first equation in the last:
144 = 81 - y^2 + 225 - 30y + y^2
144 = 81 + 225 - 30y
30y = -144 + 81 + 225
y = 5.4 m
substitute in the fence equation:
x^2 = 81 - y^2
x^2 = 81 - 5.4^2
x = 7.2 m that is the length of the fence

Answer: 500 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Sergio and Lizeth have planned to rent a car from a company that charges $75 a week plus $0.25 a mile.
i.e. Fixed charge= $75
Rate per mile = $0.25
Let x denotes the number of miles.
Then, Total charges = Fixed charge+ Rate per mile x No. of miles traveled
= $75+ $0.25x
To keep budget within $200, we have following equation.
Hence, they can travel 500 miles and still keep within their $200 budget.
So in the problem, the length of the chord there is the circumference of the tree. So in order to get the diameter of the tree, we must use the formula in getting the circumference of a circle that is stated as follows.
C = 2pi *Radius
so first we need the get the radius of the tree which represent by this formula:
Radius = C /2pi = 8/6.2832 = 1.2732 ft
Diameter = 2*radius = 2 * 1.27 32 = 2.5465 feet
In summary, the diameter of the tree is 2.565 feet.
