Which size would you see on the box for a new television whose screen measures 32 inches wide by 18 inches high?

zzz [600]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of size for a new television is shown below:-

With the help of Pythagoras theorem

$h^2 = b^2 + p^2$

where

h indicates hypotenuse which is the diagonal length

b indicates the base which is the length of the horizontal side

p indicates perpendicular which is the TV length of the vertical side.

$h^2 = \sqrt{b^2 + p^2}$

now, we will put the values into the above formula

$= \sqrt{32^2 + 18^2} \\\\ = \sqrt{1024 + 324} \\\\ = \sqrt{1348}$

Which gives result

= 36.7

= 37

A farmer was counting his chickens and pigs. He had 16 animals in all and counted 54 legs. How many chickens does he have

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

5 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set chickens and pigs with variables "c" and "p" respectively.

We know there a 16 animals in all, so there are:

c+p=16

We know there are 54 legs and chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs each:

2c+4p=54

Now we have our system of equations:

c+p=16

2c+4p=54

We are trying to find the number of chickens, so we write the first equation in respect to c.

p=16-c

Substituting the first derived equation to equation two:

2c+64-4c=54

Simplifying:

64-2c=54

2c=10

c=5

So there are 5 chickens.

Candy and Tim share a paper route. It takes Candy 85 min to deliver all the papers, and it takes Tim 65 min. How long does it ta

RSB [31]

Answer:

The time required to finish the work by both candy and Tim working together = 36.83 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by the candy to finish the work $T_{1}$ = 85 min

Time taken by the Tim to finish the work $T_{2}$ = 65 min

Thus the time taken by both to finish the work = $\frac{T_1 \times\ T_2}{T_1 + T_2}$

Put the values of $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ we get ,

$T_{}$ = $\frac{85 \times\ 65}{85 + 65}$

$T_{}$ = $\frac{221}{6}$

$T_{}$ = 36.83 minute

Thus the time required to finish the work by both candy and Tim working together = 36.83 minute

Without overlapping, how many college basketball courts 94ft x 50ft would fit into a football field 360ft x 160ft?

Volgvan

Area of basketball court: 94 x 50 = 4700 square feet

area of football field: 360 x 160 = 57600 square feet

57600 / 4700 = 12.26

so 12 basketball courts
