Ryan is putting a clothesline in his rectangular backyard. He wants to put it between two trees on the edge of his
property. He has measured his property, and made the sketch shown below, where all the lengths listed are in
meters.

Tree
What is the smallest length of rope that Ryan could buy which would stretch from one tree to the other?

25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

Draw a Right triangle as the one shown in the second picture, where "a" is the smallest length of rope  (in meters) that Ryan could buy, which would stretch from one tree to the other tree.

You need to use the Pythagoream Theorem:

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" are "c" are the legs of the Right triangle.

In this case you can identify that:

Knowing those values, you can susbtitute into   and then solve  for "a" in order to find its value.

You get:

income. 10x+1300

expenses 3x+(1800+1500)

expenses 3x+3300

to break even:

income = expense,

10x + 1300 = 3x + 3300,

solve for x.

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
