A footbridge is in the shape of an arc of a circle. The bridge is 7 ft tall and 29 ft wide. What is the radius of the circle that contains the bridge? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

18.5 ft (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the circle passes through the center of the circle and divides the width of the circle into two equal parts.

We complete the circle and apply the Law of Intersecting Chords.

In the diagram, by this law:

AB X BC =DB X BE

7*x=14.5X14.5

x=14.5X14.5÷7

x=30.04

Therefore:

Length of the Diameter= 7+30.04 ft=37.04 ft

Radius =37.04/2= 18.5 ft

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
