<span>Area that needs to be painted=1600 sq.ft. 1 gallon of paint covers 250 sq.ft. Total area for which paint needs to be bought=1600-250 sq.ft=1350 sq.ft. [Since, Mr. Arnold already has 1 gallon of paint] Total paint that needs to be bought=1350/250=5.4 gallons Alternatively, Total paint required=(Area to be painted/Coverage of 1 gallon of paint)-1 [Since, Mr. Arnold already has 1 gallon of paint] Total paint required= (1600/250)-1 gallons =6.4-1 gallons=5.4 gallons of paint is required</span>

2x2 - 4x –9 = 0<br> Completing the swuare
ASHA 777 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\2x^2-4x-9=0\qquad|\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\2x^2-4x-9+9=0+9\\\\2x^2-4x=9\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x^2}{2}-\dfrac{4x}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\x^2-2x=4.5\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot1=4.5\qquad|\text{add}\ 1^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot1+1^2=4.5+1^2\\\\(x-1)^2=5.5\iff x-1=\pm\sqrt{5.5}\qquad|\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x=1-\sqrt{5.5}\ \vee\ x=1+\sqrt{5.5}

In the figure, angle K measures 45 degrees. What is the measurement of angle C?
Delvig [45]

It is 45 because the triangle should be 180 degree and if K is 45 then J should be 45, too. We all know that the right triangle is 90 degree, so we add angle J and G, it is 135. Lastly, you subtract 180- 135=45.

What is the exact distance from (−1, 4) to (6, −2)?
Studentka2010 [4]
Same as last time:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d^2=(6--1)^2+(-2-4)^2

d^2=7^2+(-6)^2

d^2=49+36

d^2=85

d=√85  (85=5*7 and both 5 and 7 are prime so √85 cannot be simplified any further)

The exact distance is √85 units.

chubhunter [2.5K]

6 possible ways to order 3 couples in a row

Given,

We have three married couples. that is six persons in total.

a, b, c, d, e, f may taken as the six persons.

Considering the statement:

Elder partner on the left, assume a, c and e as elders.

Then we have, (a, b) ------ ( 1)

                        (c, d) ------ (2)

                        (e, f) ------ (3)

There is no change in position between the couples.

So, we get three persons in total.

Possible ways to order these three persons will be like this: 3! = 3×2×1

                                                                                                        = 6
