Total length of the board = 2.5 meters
                                       =  (2.5 * 100) cm
                                       = 250 cm
Let us assume the length of the first shelf = x
Then
Length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
Length of the third shelf = x - 12
Length of the fourth shelf = x + 4
Now we can easily get the equation as
x + 2x + 18 + x - 12 + x + 4 = 250
5x + 10 = 250
5x = 250 - 10
5x = 240
x = 240/5
  = 48 cm
length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
                                          = 2(48) + 18
                                           = 96 + 18
                                         = 114 cm
So the length of the second shelf is 114 cm.

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.
sattari [20]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x use the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , then

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{x} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

x \sqrt{3} = 28\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

x = 28

-----------------------------------------------------------

To find y use the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan60° = \sqrt{3} , then

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{14\sqrt{3} }{y} = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by y )

14\sqrt{3} = y \sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

y = 14

Solve the following expression when<br> t = 3 and s = 2<br> (12t) = (6s)<br> Enter
larisa86 [58]

From the solution of the expression, it can be seen that s = 6 when t = 3 while t = 1 when s = 2.

<h3>How do we solve a mathematical expression?</h3>

Given:

(12t) = (6s) ........................ (1)

When t = 3, we can solve for s from the expression in equation (1) by substituting t = 3 into the equation as follows:

12 * 3 = 6s

36 = 6s

s = 36 / 6

s = 6

When s = 2, we can solve for t from the expression in equation (1) by substituting s = 2 into the equation as follows:

12t = 6 * 2

12t = 12

t = 12 / 12

t = 1

Select the linear equation represented in the graph
LiRa [457]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line in the picture rises 1 unit for every 2 units it moves to the right, it has a slope of 1/2. Also, since it intersects the y axis at (0,3), the y intercept is 3. Therefore, the equation of the line is y=1/2x+3, or answer choice B. Hope this helps!
