x = the length of one piece

y = the length of the other piece


the total length is 100 cm this means 


x + y = 100


one piece is 16 inches longer than the other


first we need to convert inches to cm: 


1 in = 2.54 cm

16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64


now we can write


x = y + 40.64


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 100

x = y + 40.64


we find


x = 70.32 cm


y = 29.68 cm


the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.

Answer:

m<M = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<M +m<P +m<V=180° (sum of the interior angles of the triangle)

x+78+52°=180°

=>x+130= 180°

=>x=180°-130°

=>x= 50°

7. The height of a ball in meters is modeled
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

the ball is in the air for 8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y

when y = 0, the ball would've travelled through the air over the final time of flight.

0 = -5x^2 + 40x + 0

use quadratic equation to find the value of x

x = (-b ± √b^2 - 4 • a • c) / 2 • a

x = (-40 ± √40^2 - 4 • -5 • 0) / 2 • -5

x = (-40 ± √1600) / - 10

x = (-40 ± 40) / - 10

x = 0 or x = 8
