A 40 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second price is 4times as long as the first piece and the third piece is 5 times as long as the first piece find the length of all three pieces
1 answer:
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

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
56.4059 - 4.837 = 56 - 5 = 51
A = W· L
10,000 = W ( W +30 ) = W² + 30 W
W² + 30 W - 10,000 = 0
W =
L = 86.12 + 30 = 116.12
Width of a plot is 86.12 m and lenght is 116.12 m.
Check : A = 116.12 · 86.12 ≈ 10,000
You can pick a symbol, maybe m or z to be the symbol.
