Answer:
no its 2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
i just took the test its 2.7 duh !
The length of each leg can be found from an expression and an equation that gives the length of ribbon Eleonore has.
- The maximum length possible for each leg is approximately 2.7 feet.
Reasons:
The shape of the flag = Isosceles triangle
Length of the base of each triangle = 1.25 feet
Length of ribbon available = 500 feet
Number of flags to make = 75 flags
Required:
Maximum possible length for each leg of the triangle
Solution:
Let L represent the length of each leg, we have;
The expression for the perimeter of one flag = 2·L + 1.25
For the 75 flags, the equation is as follows;
75 × (2·L + 1.25) = 500
Which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle 2 \cdot L + 1.25 = \mathbf{\frac{500}{75}} = \frac{20}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle L = \frac{\frac{20}{3} - 1.25}{2} = \frac{65}{24} \approx \mathbf{2.708\overline 3}[/tex]
The maximum possible length for each leg, by rounding to the nearest tenth, is L ≈ 2.7 feet
