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.

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2+5x+3=180 (angles on a straight line)

7x+5=180

7x=180-5

7x=175

x=25 (dividing both sides by 7)

Answer the question to become brainliest
marishachu [46]

Answer:

2406.17 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 24.4 cm

Base length (L) = 17.2 cm

Volume (V) =?

Next, we shall determine the base area of the pyramid. This can be obtained as follow:

Base length (L) = 17.2 cm

Base area (B) =.?

B = L × L

B = 17.2 × 17.2

B = 295.84 cm²

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the pyramid. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 24.4 cm

Base area (B) = 295.84 cm²

Volume (V) =?

V = ⅓Bh

V = ⅓ × 295.84 × 24.4

V = 2406.17 cm³

Thus, we volume of the pyramid is 2406.17 cm³

What is the supplement angle of 100?​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

An angle measuring 100 degrees would be supplementary to any angle measuring 80 degrees, but it cannot be called supplementary by itself. "Complementary" and "supplementary" are terms that describe the relationship between two angles. They are comparative words like "larger."

The fare for a taxi cab is $2.50 per passenger and $0.75 for each mile. A group of friends has $22.00
xeze [42]

For this case we have to:

x: Let the variable representing the number of people to travel in the group

y: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled.

If friends only have $22 then we have the following inequality:

2.50x + 0.75y \leq22

Now, if there are three people in the group we have that x = 3.

2.50 (3) + 0.75y \leq22\\7.5 + 0.75y \leq22\\0.75y \leq22-7.5\\0.75y \leq14.5\\y\leq \frac {14.5} {0.75}\\y\leq19.33

The taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles.

On the other hand, if the group wants to travel 10 miles then we have to y = 10.

2.50x + 0.75 (10) \leq22\\2.50x + 7.5 \leq22\\2.50x \leq22-7.5\\2.50x \leq14.5\\x\leq \frac {14.5} {2.50}\\x \leq5.8

Thus, they could travel a maximum of 5 people.

ANswer:

2.50x + 0.75y \leq22

Traveling 3 people, the taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles

Traveling 10 miles, a maximum of 5 people can travel
