*PLS HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST 100 POINTS* A moving truck 7 feet wide and 13 feet high is approaching a semi-circular brick archway. The base of the
archway is 28 feet wide. The road under the archway is divided, allowing for two-way traffic. If the truck remains just
to the right of the median, will it be able to pass under the archway without damage?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the archway as a semicircle with a radius of 28/2 = 14

The diagonal of the truck is like the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 and 13

c² = a² + b²

c² = 7² + 13²

c² = 49 + 169

c² = 218

c = 14.76

Since the diagonal of the truck is greater than the radius of the arch the truck will NOT pass without damage
