Answer:

She has approximately 3 pieces ( 2.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of pieces, we need to divide the length of the wire by the individual length of the pieces.

To get the division done, it would be easier to convert what we have into improper fractions

For the piece of wire, the length which is 4 and 3/8 centimeters long will be 35/8 centimeters

while;

the individual length of each of the piece which is 1 and 2/3 centimeters long will be 5/3 centimeters

The number of pieces is thus 35/8 divided by 5/3 = 35/8 * 3/5 = 21/8 = 2.625 which is approximately 3 pieces

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:

37

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

or

= 37

What is the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD? a(-3,2) b(4,2) c(3,-3) d(-3,3)
lord [1]

Answer:

Perimeter will be = 21.6

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the formula to get the length between two points A and B having coordinates A(x,y) and B (a,b) is

AB = √(x-a)²+(y-b)²

We will use this formula to get the lengths of all sides of the quadrilateral.

AB=√(4+3)²+(2-2)² =√7² =7

BC = √(3-4)²+(-3-2)²=√(-1)²+(-5)² = √1+25=√26 = 5.1

CD = √(3+3)²+(-3-3)² = √6²+(-6)² = √72 = 8.5

DA = √(-3+3)²+(3-2)² =√1 = 1

Since perimeter of the quadrilateral = sum of lengths of all sides

Perimeter = 7 + 5.1 + 8.5 + 1 = 21.6
