Kylie needs to pack her baton for a
color-guard competition. The baton
is 38 inches long. She has a rectangular
box with a base of 13 inches by 35
inches and a height of 13 inches.
Part A
Could the baton lie flat on a diagonal
along the base of the box ? Explain.
Part B
Could the baton fit along the interior
diagonal of the box? Explain.

Step-by-step explanation:

For A, we would need to use the Pythagorean theorem. We have 13^2+35^2=38^2. Is this true? No It is not, 13^2 + 35^2 = 1394. The square root of that is about 37.3, so it does not fit.

For B, we would need to use the Pythagorean theorem again, but in a different way . We would need to find 13^2 + 35^2, and then square root that. That would be our base of our right triangle. The height would be 13, and we use the Pythagorean theorem again! We get 169+1394=1563. The square root of 1563 is about 39.5, so it does fit.

all three statements are true

step-by-step explanation:

a shipping fee of 5% is charged online with every item purchased online

first let's just take each option and calculate them based on this, to see if the answers matched

keith buys a 40 dollar book

40 x 0.05 = 2

therefore there will be a two dollar fee on keith's book

40 + 2 =42

the first statement is true

a chair costs $80

80 x 0.05 = 4

80 + 4 = 84

the second statement is true

george buys a 20 dollar calculator

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

the third statements are true

all three statements are true
