A patio 20 feet wide has a slanted roof, as shown in the figure. Find the length of the roof if there is an 8-inch overhang. Show all work and round the answer to the nearest foot. Be sure to label your answer appropriately. Then write a sentence explaining your answer in the context of the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has missing attachment (See attachment 1 for complete figure)

Given

Width, W = 20ft

Let the taller height be represented with H and the shorter height with h

H = 10ft

h = 8ft

Overhang = 8 inch

Required

Determine the length of the slanted roof

FIrst, we have to determine the distance between the tip of the roof and the shorter height;

Represent this with

This is calculated by

Substitute 10 for H and 8 for h

Next, is to calculate the length of the slant height before the overhang;

See Attachment 2

Distance L can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem

Take Square root of both sides

-------Approximated

The full length of the slanted roof is the sum of L (calculated above) and the overhang

Substitute 20.10 ft for L

Convert inch to feet to get the slanted roof in feet

Hence, the total length of the slanted roof in feet is approximately 20.77 feet

-6 is the correct option from the above given options

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
