<h3>The length of longer piece is 30 inches</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the length of longer piece

Let "y" be the length of shorter piece

<em><u>The length of a board is 55 inches</u></em>

Therefore,

x + y = 55 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The board needs to be cut into 2 pieces with one piece 5 inches longer than the other piece</u></em>

Therefore,

x = 5 + y ------- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 + y + y = 55

2y = 55 - 5

2y = 50

<h3>y = 25</h3>

Substitute y = 25 in eqn 1

x + 25 = 55

x = 55 - 25

<h3>x = 30</h3>

Thus the length of longer piece is 30 inches

Display the set of data in a histogram.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the third histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must check in a histogram is that the x-axis is represented the intervals and in the y-axis is represented the frequency.

The first histogram is incorrect just by observing the first bar, we notice that the correct frequency from 0 to 4 is 3, not 14. This histogram is incorrect.

Also, the second histogram is incorrect, the frequency of the first category is 3, not 12. This histogram is wrong.

The third histogram is correct because all the bars are in agreement with their frequencies.

The last histogram is incorrect, for example, the last frequency is 12, not 3.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

we draw triangle and see it 90°. As we know height of building B and inclination angle we can get the lenght of base of the triangle.

L- distance

tan14,6=1431/L

L=1431/tan14.6 = 5493.69ft
