(2 6/7) / (1 2/3) = x/1
cross multiply...and turn mixed numbers to improper fractions
5/3x = 20/7
x = 20/7 * 3/5
x = 60/35 = 1 5/7 songs per minute
Divide both sides by -14 to get X alone
We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this
The pythagorean theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2, while
a = one leg
b = the second leg
c = the hypotenuse
In this problem,
a = 3
b = 15
c = ?
Let's plug our values into the pythagorean theorem
(3)^2 + (15)^2 = c^2
9 + 225 = c^2
Add together the left side
234 = c^2
Take the sqrt of both sides
sqrt(234) = c
The length of BC = sqrt(234)
-2/3 is not whole, not natural, and not irrational.
From that list, the only thing it is is rational.
Answer:
Answer: 10.875
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the short side be x.
Then the long side is 3x.
There are two opposite sides of each length, so the perimeter is
3x + 3x + x + x = 8x
The perimeter is 29, so we get the equation
8x = 29
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 8.
x = 29/8
x = 3.625
The longer side is 3x.
3x = 3(3.625) = 10.875
