Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40                Combine

Solution

10x = 40                             Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10        

x = 4

Answer

The smallest piece (x) = 4

The middle piece 4x  = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20

Which equation represents the circle described? (in picture)
Sedaia [141]
You are right. In circle equation we have =r² so the correct answer will be C od D.  But we have to calculate the center of a circle.

x^2+y^2-8x-6y+24=0\quad|-24\\\\(x^2-8x)+(y^2-6y)=-24

Complete the square:

x^2-8x+a^2\implies a=\dfrac{8x}{2x}=4\implies x^2-8x+4^2\\\\\\y^2-6y+b^2\implies b=\dfrac{6y}{2y}=3\implies y^2-6y+3^2

And we have:

(x^2-8x)+(y^2-6y)=-24\\\\(x^2-8x+4^2)-4^2+(y^2-6y+3^2)-3^2=-24\\\\
(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2-16-9=-24\\\\(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2-25=-24\quad|+25\\\\\boxed{(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2=1}

So the answer is C (the same left side of equation).
