A piece of wire is 240 cm long.
Peter cuts two 45 cm lengths off the wire.
He then cuts the rest of the wire into as many 40 cm lengths as possible.
Work out how many 40 cm lengths of wire Peter cuts.

Answer:

  CX = 15√2 inches

  BC = 15√3 inches

  AC = 15√6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, all of the triangles are similar:

  ΔABC ~ ΔACX ~ ΔCBX

Corresponding segments are proportional in similar triangles, so we have ...

  AX/CX = CX/BX = (long leg)/(short leg)

Filling in the numbers, we get

  30/CX = CX/15

  CX² = 15×30

  CX = 15√2 . . . . . exact length of the altitude (inches)

__

Similarly, we can form proportions with the legs:

  AB/BC = CB/BX

  BC² = (BX)(AB) = (45)(15)

  BC = 15√3 . . . inches

and

  AC/AB = AX/AC

  AC² = (AX)(AB) = (30)(45)

  AC = 15√6 . . . inches

_____

Additional comment

You may notice that each of the segments we're interested in is the root of a product involving segments of the hypotenuse. This "root of a product" is called the geometric mean. Here, the three geometric mean relations are ...

  altitude = geometric mean of hypotenuse segments

  short side = geometric mean of short segment and whole hypotenuse

  long side = geometric mean of long segment and whole hypotenuse

__

Strictly speaking the geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n items. Here, there are only 2 items, so it is the square root of their product.

Answer:

Discount of Original Price = Discounted Price

20% of $30 =  $24

30% of $24 = 16.8

40% of $35 = $21

Explanation:

0.2 x 30 = 6

30 - 6 = 24

0.3 x 24 = 7.2

24 - 7.2 = 16.8

0.4 x 35 = 14

35 - 14 = 21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Got it right on edg

The ordered pair which is also on the graph is (6, 9).

A number pattern is a pattern in a series of numbers that represents the common relationship between the numbers.

Suzy is shopping at a book sale.

We can see from the table that when books( x) is 2 then the value of y is 3.

Similarly, x = 4 then y = 6

then we can say that the value of y is the addition of half of the value of x in itself.

So, according to the number pattern;

if we take x = 6

Then 6 + 3 = 9

y = 9

Thus, The ordered pair which is also on the graph is (6, 9).

Answer:

6x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]6x - 7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 2-1 to 1.

[tex]5 \times 1 + 2(3x - 6)[/tex]

2) Simplify 5 × 1 to 5.

[tex]5 + 2(3x - 6)[/tex]

3) Expand by distributing terms

[tex]5 + 6x - 12[/tex]

4) Collect like terms.

[tex]6x + (5 - 12)[/tex]

5) Simplify.

[tex]6x - 7[/tex]

So, therefor, the answer is 6x - 7.

Answer:

A. 106

B. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 33 times 2 = 66

66 Plus the 40 for the membership

66 + 40 = 106

B. 90 - 40 = 50  (40 from the membership)

50 divided by 2 = 25

Answer:

143.3 degrees and 323.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

3tanA +√5 = 0

3tanA = -√5

tanA =-√5/3

tanA = (-0.7454)

A = arctan(-0.7453)

A = -36.699

Since tan is negative in 2nd and 4th quadrant

A = 180 - 36.699

A = 143.3 degrees

In the fourth quadrant

A = 360 - 36.699

A = 323.3degrees

Hence the value of A that satisfies the equation are 143.3 degrees and 323.3 degrees

Answer:

  -28/45

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1, the sign

When the fractions have an odd number of minus signs (1, not 0 or 2), the result will be negative. This knowledge lets you ignore the sign while you do the rest of the arithmetic. The appropriate sign is applied to the final numbers.

Step 2, the formula

The ratio (a/b)÷(c/d) is (ad)/(bc). There are several ways you can get there:

⇒ "invert and multiply" or "swap dot"

  [tex]\dfrac{a}{b}\div\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{a}{b}\,\cdot\,\dfrac{d}{c}=\dfrac{ad}{bc} \quad\text{division is multiplication by the reciprocal}[/tex]

⇒ "numerators of a common denominator"

  [tex]\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{c}{d}\right)}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{ad}{bd}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{bc}{bd}\right)}=\dfrac{ad}{bc}[/tex]

⇒ "swapped denominators of a common numerator"

  [tex]\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{c}{d}\right)}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{ac}{bc}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{ac}{ad}\right)}=\dfrac{ad}{bc}[/tex]

The use of common numerators or common denominators is most often seen when the numerator or denominator of one fraction is a multiple of that in the other fraction. Example: (2/3)÷(1/6) = (4/6)÷(1/6) = 4/1 = 4

Step 3, reduce the result

Any of these fractions is reduced by cancelling common factors from numerator and denominator. Your fractions here don't have any common factors, so there is nothing to cancel.

8ft 4 in = 100 inches

Answer:

14.3 yds.

Step-by-step explanation:

c=√a^2 +b^2

c=√14^2 +3^2

c=√=196+9

c=14.31782106327

c=14.3 yds.

Answer:

XZ = 14.32 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem

14^2 + 3^2 = XZ^2

196 + 9 = XZ^2

XZ^2 = 205

XZ = 14.32 yd

Answer:

D. 6 cups of oil to 12 cups of milk.

Answer:

142.72

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it states that the number in the hundreds place should be twice the number in the hundredth place.

142.72

1 is in the hundreds place. Now the value in the hundredth place should be twice the value of 1. When it say twice it says 2 times the number. 1 time 2 = 2 which would make the answer true.
