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

If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

(x+2) + x + (x+4) = 2(1/2) + 2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

They are equal to each other and the rectangle has 2x more perimeter

The triangle would be divided in half from that rectangle.

Sorry If this is confusing I am not very good at explaining things.

The radius of this ball is 15 inches. Which equation gives the ball's surface area, in square inches?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

\large\boxed{S.A.=4500\pi\ in^2\approx14130\ in^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a surface area of a ball (sphere):

S.A.=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3

R - radius

We have R = 15in. Substitute:

S.A.=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(15^3)=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3375)=4500\pi\ in^2

If you want to get an approximation, then:

\pi\approx3.14\\\\S.A.\approx(4500)(3.14)=14130\ in^2
