Randy wants to attach a 16 16 foot string of lights to the top of the 15 15 foot mast of his sailboat. How far from the base of the mast should he attach the end of the light string? Round your answer to two decimal places.

5.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The string, the mast and the distance between the base of the mast and the end of the light string forms a right triangle, in which:

- The string is the hypothenuse:

- The mast is the height:

- The distance between the base of the mast and the end of the light string is the base:

In this problem, we have:

(length of the string)

(height of the mast)

Therefore, we can find the distance between the base of the mast and the end of the light string by applying Pythagorean's theorem; we find:

725 parts per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

hi there, this answer is actually really simple.

you can set it up as 1450/2 or 3625/5 to find the answer.

they want to know how much per hour is being made, so you just divide.

1450/2=725.

and that's how many are produced per hour.

hope this . : )

think the answer is 30 degrees. if not than it is 20 degrees. not 100% sure. let me know if it was right.
