Answer: 225 in.²

Step-by-step explanation: First, we want to find the length of one side. Since we know that a square has 4 sides and the perimeter is 60 inches, we can set up the following equation to find the length of one side.

Let's use l as our variable to represent length.

4l = 60

To get l by itself, we need to divide by 4 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 4 on the left side, we must also divide by 4 on the right side. On the left side, the 4's cancel and we are left with l. On the right side, we have 60 over 4 which simplifies to 15.

This means that a side of the square is 15 inches.

Now, we are asking ourselves what is the area of a square with a side length of 15 inches.

To find the area of a square, remember that a square is a type of rectangle so we can use the following formula.

<em>Area = length × width</em>

However, since the length and width of a square are always equal, we use a special version of this formula to find the area of a square.

Instead of <em>area = length × width</em>, we say that the area of a square equals side × side or S².

Since the sides of the square each have a length of 15 inches, the area of the square is equal to (15 in.)² or (15 in) (15 in) which equals 225 in.²

Therefore, the area of the square is 225 in.².

Answer:

<h2>A = 225 in²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a square:

A=s^2

<em>s</em><em> - side</em>

The formula of a perimeter of a square:

P=4s

<em>s</em><em> - side</em>

<em />

We have a perimeter

P=60\ in

Substitute:

4s=60             <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

\dfrac{4s}{4}=\dfrac{60}{4}\\\\s=15\ in

Put it to the formula of an area of a square:

A=15^2=225\ in^2

Ariel made 108 cupcakes. If 32 of them are chocolate, what percent of the cupcakes are vanilla?
Leni [432]

Answer:

About 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the number of chocolate cupcakes from the total cupcakes.

108-32=76

76 cupcakes are vanilla.

Divide 76/108

76/108

70.3%

About 70% of the cupcakes are vanilla.

72 inches=___ yards please and thank you for your help
I am Lyosha [343]

We know that:

1yd=36in\text{.}

Then:

1in=\frac{1}{36}yd\text{.}

Therefore:

72in=72\cdot(\frac{1}{36}yd)\text{.}

Simplifying the above result we get:

72\cdot\frac{1}{36}yd=2yd\text{.}

Answer:

72\text{inches}=2\text{yards.}

HELP The minute hand of a clock is 5 inches long. to the the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

18.326 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking us to find the arc length that the tip of the minute hand travels. The formula for an arc length is S=θr. So we need th find the angle that the minute hand passes through. We know that there is 360 degrees in a cicle and there is 12 stops around a clock, so divide 360 by 12 to find the degrees the minute hand travels every 5 minutes. We ge that every 5 minutes the hand travels 30 degrees, and 35 minutes is 7*5 so we multiple 30*7 to find the angular displacement, and we get 210 degrees. This equation uses radians though so we have to convert, which can be done doing \frac{210}{1} *\frac{\pi }{180}, and we ge that θ is \frac{7\pi }{6} so (\frac{7\pi }{6})(5)= 18.326 inches

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4\frac{3}{5} -(-3\frac{2}{5})+3

Negative and another negative makes a positive.

4\frac{3}{5}+3\frac{2}{5}+3

Add the fractions first.

7\frac{5}{5}+3

5/5 is equivalent to 1. 7 5/5 becomes 8.

8+3

Add the numbers.
