Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayla has a couple of options for cutting her original piece of paper.

  • she can cut the 3 inch length from the long dimension of the paper, giving her 5 strips from the length and 4 strips from the width for a total of 20 3×2 pieces
  • she can cut the 3 inch length from the short dimension of the paper, giving her 3 strips from the 9-inch width, and 8 strips from the 16-inch length, for a total of 3×8 = 24 pieces.

The greatest number of 3×2 pieces Jayla can cut is 24.

The attachments show the different cuts as described above.

How do i find the value of x on this problem?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is

14/6 = 21/(3x - 12)                 Cross Multiply

14*(3x - 12) = 6*21                 Remove the brackets and combine

42x - 168 = 126                     Add 168 to both sides

42x = 126 + 168

42x =  294                           Divide by 42

x = 294/42

x = 7

The second part = 1

the second part could be written sin²x.(1/sin²x), since cscx =1/sinx

hence 1 = 1
