The trick to solving problems with mixed units is to convert all of them into one unit or another, so:
There are 12 inches in a foot, so 72 inches = 6 feet.
To find the perimeter of a polygon, sum its sides.
Perimeter = 2 + 5 + 6 = 13 feet.
To find the area of a right triangle (which I assume the one in the picture is), we can use the following equation: A = 0.5 * base * height
There are 3 feet to one yard, so 6 feet = 2 yards.
Area = 0.5 * 2 * 1 = 1 yard^2
The correct answer is 29/20
The Answer to your problem is:
0.8
Answer:
1 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
12 1/3 - 10 11/12
We need to get a common denominator of 12
12 1/3 * 4/4 - 10 11/12
12 4/12 - 10 11/12
We need to borrow from the 12 (the whole number) because the 2nd fraction is bigger than the first
12 becomes 11 and the 1 becomes 12/12
11+ (12/12 + 4/12) - 10 11/12
11 16/12 - 10 11/12
Subtract the whole numbers
11-10 =1
Subtract the fractions
16/12 - 11 /12 = 5 /12
We are left with 1 5/12
Hmmm if you don't have a Unit Circle, this is a good time to get one, many you can find online. Anyhow, check your unit circle for cos(30°) and sin(30°).
