Sam takes a sheet of paper and cuts from one corner to the opposite comer, making two triangles. If the length of the cut is 41 inches and
the paper is 22 inches long, what is the width of the sheet of paper
(nearest tenth)?
41 in
22 in
width

The width is 34.6

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to assume that the cut is a straight cut.

Givens

c = 41

a = 22

b = ?

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

22^2 + b^2 = 41^2

484 + b^2 = 1681                   Subtract 484 from both sides

484-484 + b^2 = 1681-484   Combine

b^2 = 1197                              Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(1197)

b = 3*sqrt(133)

b = 34.598  

b = 34.6

part a

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
