A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
Answer:
9 units
Center is at (5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of the circle is equal to the square root of 81
= ±9
Since the radius of a circle must be positive the answer is 9 units.
The center of the circle is at (5, 0)
Answer: (e-5)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The box method is a good way to solve this, but for a quick explanation, start by finding a single value that when added gets -10 and when multiplied gets +25. We can find that this term is -5. We the can situate -5 into (e-5)^2 equation, where if you FOIL, you will be back at the unfactored equation. Hope this helps
