Ascout group is setting up a tent at camp. because rain is predicted, the scouts decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over the tent. the fly will be 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. the scouts are building the frame for the fly with poles slanted to meet over the top of the tent. what is the minimum length of the poles needed to support the fly?

the answer is 175.4379

step-by-step explanation:

squares, rhombus, rectangles

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

(-5,-28)
