Let's use the variable x to represent the length of the first and second pieces.

If the third piece has twice the length of the first and second, its length is 2x.

If the fourth piece has half the length of the first and second, its length is 0.5*x.

Adding all four pieces and equating to 54 inches, we have:

\begin{gathered} x+x+2x+0.5x=54 \\ 4.5x=54 \\ x=\frac{54}{4.5} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}

So the length of each piece is:

12 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches and 6 inches.

A triangle with area 45 square inches has a height that is two less than four times the width. Find the width and height of the
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = (b(4b - 2))/2

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

 

2b + 9 = 0  

2b = -9

b = -9/2

If we were looking for zeroes, this would be an answer, but since we're looking for measurement, we don't use negative numbers.

90 = 4b2 - 2b

4b2 - 2b - 90 = 0

(2b + 9)(2b - 10) = 0

 

2b + 9 = 0  

2b = -9

b = -9/2

What does a decimal between two fractions mean
Anni [7]

Answer:

Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you're talking about is not a decimal, but a multiplication point:

\frac{1}{2} \:  . \:  \frac{3}{4}

This dot can donate multiplication when in the middle of two numbers and/or fractions.

But if you're talking about some other point, then I don't know, sorry. :(
