Question

Please help, I don't understand part a or b.

Answer 1

Part A
25-9=16
16/2=8
The length of the rope holding the top right corner of the banner to the post is 8 feet long

Part B
13-9-2= 2 for width
25-8=16 16/2=8 for length
Use the Pythagorean Theorem

`a^(2)`+
`b^(2)`=
`c^(2)`

`8^(2)+ 2^(2)= c^(2)`
64+4=
`c^(2)`
68=
`c^(2)`

`√(68)= √(c)`
34=c
The length of the rope from the bottom right corner of the banner to the post is 34 feet
