Randy is adding an extra rack to the top of his tobacco barn. the top of the barn is triangular in
shape and the vertices are located at (6, 7), (-3,-4), and (15,-4). he needs to know how long the
boards need to be in order to build this rack. the rack will be placed halfway between the base
and the peak of the triangle. each square in the grid represents one foot.
randy's son is in charge of cutting the ends of the boards to make them fit snug to the sides of
the roof. the ends need to be cut at the same slope as the roof. what is the slope?
1000 = $1.758
once the project is complete, randy's son looks up at the barn and claims that the peak of the
roof is a right angle. determine if randy's claim is true or false. explain your answer. 250-31.1
the barn is now prepared and fully stocked and randy is ready to sell tobacco. randy decides to
sell the tobacco for $1.75 per pound. the start-up cost was $1000 which includes labor and the
cost to build the new rack. what is the equation of the line that would be used to determine
randy's profit?
randy's neighbor decides to sell his tobacco for the same price but his start-up cost was $250
less than randy's. if the two equations were graphed on a coordinate plane, would the two lines
intersect? why or why not?
