If you want to put a 4x8 piece of plywood through a 3 foot square opening in your ceiling by turning it diagonally is the opening big enough? use a 45-45-90 since its a square

Yes, the 3 foot 3 foot square opening in your ceiling is big enough to insert a  4x8 piece of plywood.

In  a 3x3 foot square, we can form two right triangles with same diagonal side or hypotenuse. .

Using the Pythagorean theorem/formula, we can find the length of the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle ( c) given the two sides a and b

Substitute values a=3 and b=3 to formula

a^2^+b^2^=C^2^=

3^2^+3^2^=C^2^=

9+9= C^2^

C= square root of 18

C=4.24 

A 4x8 piece of plywood can be inserted in a 4.24 opening diagonally.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
