Longer piece: 3x + 3

Shorter piece: x

(x) + (3x + 3) = 7

4x + 3 = 7

4x = 4

x = 1

Longer piece: 3x + 3  = 3(1) + 3   = 6

Answer: 1 ft and 6 ft

A person has 17 coins, all nickels and dimes, worth $1.25. How many nickels are there?
makvit [3.9K]
This is a problem of guess and check; there's no easier way to do it.But in this case you must have an odd number of nickels to make the 5 cents, so your answer is 9 nickels.you can check this by multiplying each one by .05: 9*.05=.45 the rest of the coins left, are 8 of them, and their dimes. .10*8=.80 .80+.45= 1.25

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet? Use 3.14 for π
iren2701 [21]
1) Calculate the whole arc (complete circumference):


Circumference = 2π*radius


radius = 6 foot


=> Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 6 foot = 37.68


2) Calculate the time to make a whole round, by making a proportion with the two ratios:


 ratio 1 = x / 37.68 =


ratio 2 = 3 / 14.13


ratio 1 = ratio 2 =>

   x                  3s
----------  =   -----------
37.68 ft        14.13 ft


=> x = 3 * 37.68 / 14.13 = 8 s


3) Calcuate the angular velocity as the 2π rad (which is the total angle of a circle) divided by the time.


So the angular velocity is 2π rad / 8 s = 2*3.14 foot / 8 s = 0.785 rad / s



Answer: 0.785 rad / s
