Explanation Given: Calculation: If 6 3 4 i n . of the original length was removed then, the original length of the tapered portion is x − 6 3 8 = 1 11 16 x − 51 8 = 27 16 x = 27 16 + 51 8 x = 27 + 102 16 x = 129 16 or, x = 8 1 16 in . To check: Put the obtained value in the formula used and verify the answer

Amal is painting the main street of a model town. The street is 24 inches long by 1.5 inches wide, until it turns at an angle. The angle forms a triangle with one side of 2 inches and two sides of 1.5 inches that form a right angle. Then the street, still is 1.5 inches wide, continues on for another 11 inches. What calculations will Amal need to do to find the area of each shape? How big is the area Amal wants to paint?

A homeowner wants to install a new marble countertop on their kitchen island. They take measurements of the island and find that the length is 2 feet, the width is 3.5 feet and the height of the island is 4 feet.

Steve plants his garden, but just as it begins to thrive, deer start eating all of the fruit and vegetables. He decides to try to build an enclosure by hanging clear plastic over ropes attached to poles down the center of the garden. A cross-section of the ropes forms two right triangles with each pole. Each section of rope is 18 feet long. The distance from the base of the pole to each stake in the ground is 2/3 the height of the pole. What is the height of each pole? What's the height of the pole in feet and inches? Will this be enough to cover the width of Rashid’s garden if the garden is 10 feet by 20 feet?
