Homework Help?

(please tell me work, my teacher is crazy.)

The Diagnals for a quilting frame must be the same length to ensure the frame is rectangular. What should the lengths of the diagnals be for a quilting frame in 86 in by 100 in.?

An 11 ft ladder is placed against a house by a painter. The base of the ladder is 3 ft from the house. How high on the house does the ladder reach?

Jim works for a landscaping company. He must plant and stake a tree. The stakes are 2 ft from the base of the tree and they are connected to wires that attach to the trunk at a height of 5 ft. If there is 6 in of extra length at the ends of each wire, how long much each wire be, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

10 pts whoever helps. :)

The Diagnals for a quilting frame must be the same length to ensure the frame is rectangular. What should the lengths of the diagnals be for a quilting frame in 86 in by 100 in.?

Okay, so first, I pictured a rectangle that is 86 inches tall, and 100 inches long. Then I made a line diagnally. Now, it looks like a triangle...
and the diagnal line is the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle).
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem in this case, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem), which is basically a way of figuring out a hypotenuse of a right triangle from the other two sides.
And the equation is: a^2+b^2=c (a squared plus b squared is c squared, where a and b are the other two sides, and the c is the hypotenuse.
So we do 86 squared plus 100 squared and that is 17,396
(86^2 + 100^2) = 17 396
(7396 + 10000) = 17 396

And now, we square root the answer (17,396) and get 131.893897!

An 11 ft ladder is placed against a house by a painter. The base of the ladder is 3 ft from the house. How high on the house does the ladder reach?

We can also use the Pythagorean theorem for this one, and in this case. the hypotenuse is the 11ft, and one of the "other sides" is the 3 feet.

So it's: 11^2=3^2+something squared (or we could say "a", in this case)
11^2=3^2+a^2
121=9+a^2
subtract 9 from both sides to make the a^2 alone (we want to know what a is)
112=a^2
root both sides
10.5830052=a

So the answer is 10.5830052

Jim works for a landscaping company. He must plant and stake a tree. The stakes are 2 ft from the base of the tree and they are connected to wires that attach to the trunk at a height of 5 ft. If there is 6 in of extra length at the ends of each wire, how long much each wire be, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Okay, so first, we just want to know what the lengths are for all of the sides of the triangle that can be formed in this siituation, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem again.

Here, we do not know the hypotenuse of the "triangle", so the equation looks like this:
c^2=2^2+5^2
c^2=4+25
c^2=29
root both sides
c=5.38516481

And now, when it says that there are extra wires of 6 in. on the end of the wires, it's talkig about the side that we just solved for and the 2 feet.
so 5.38516481 plus 6 inches is...11.38516481, but we have to round it to tenths, so it's (11.4 inches)
And 2feet plus 6 inches is...2 ft and 6 inches (30 inches)
So the answer is 11.4 and 30 inches!!!!

Anyways, I'm SO sorry if my answer was confusing or too long, or just WRONG, (LOL) but I hope it helped!!!! :D

The Difference Between Western & Country Home Decor

Western decor includes cowboy, horse, and even buffalo theme items. Western decor is not limited to the cowboy theme, even though it is extremely popular. Western decor can also include lodge or cabin decor.

Cabin decor includes bear, moose, deer and elk design items, whereas, cabin decor includes trout, pine tree, fishing, oak leaf and duck items.

You don't have to live in the wild west or even own a horse to surround yourself with western furniture and accessories. Western home decor can convey a western outdoorsy charm and appeal. With western home decor you may comprise an outdoor scene featuring forests, wildlife, horses, and cowboys.

The colors used in western home decor tend to be darker and warmer, reds, oranges, and yellows are used to convey the idea of a western sunset. Many people like the walls in the house to be somewhat of a neutral color. An off-white, light tan, or sand color works well western style decorating since these are subdued earth tone. A few colors that will match the natural landscape are sky-blue, forest green, or dusty rose color.

Another area of western home decor are the rugs. Rugs that go great with the western style are rugs with a southwestern design, sheepskin rugs, and rugs that depict wildlife such as horses or bears.

Some other things you want to consider in western home decor are horseshoes, stars, and plenty of cowboy decor. No western wall would be complete without several old brown tinted photographs.

Country home decor includes candles, sunflowers, wicker, pottery, dried flowers, handmade quilts, and red or blue gingham curtains. Country home decor brings about a warm and cozy atmosphere. Decorative country accents can bring a sense of farm life, family, and a relaxing feel to any room in the house. Using antiques, homemade craft items, and country-style accessories will add charm and character to your home.

Country decor should reflect floral prints, comfy sofas with ruffled skirts. The use of natural wood and products that reflect a natural earthy style portray country living. Natural wood floors, light wood furniture as opposed to dark, or wicker furniture gives off that country charm.

When it comes to the walls, whether using wallpaper or paint, use colors that reflect the country feel. You can even use stencils with flowers or country scenes to bring the country comfort into your home. No country home would be complete without a braided rope rug or a wooden rocking chair with a handmade quilt draped over it.

Another design style much like country home decor is shabby chic. Shabby chic gives that comfortable, worn, old, vintage look. A country shabby chic theme could work well with county accessories that have an antique worn look.

It's whatever your personal taste is, whether you prefer the traditional ranch style western home decor or the comfortable coziness of country home decor for your home decorating. You can be assured that you will have plenty of accessories to choose from that have the charm and down-home appeal.
