The tenth-grade teachers at Washington High School are getting ready for the new school year, so they want to decorate the 5 large bulletin boards in the hallway outside their
classrooms. They plan to use 8 yards of border for each bulletin board. If border is sold in 40-
foot rolls, how many rolls will the teachers use?
Write your answer as a whole number, decimal, or simplified fraction. Do not
round.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: what are the following choices

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

1 ?

step-by-step explanation:

u said 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1*0 so ur adding 1 but then multiplying by 0 so its 0 but then u said 1*0+1 so now ur adding 1 so the answer is juan ?
