Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used
Answer:
Second one
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
We can list out each of the numbers' prime factors first before deciding their greatest common factor.
16: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
48: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
As you can see the bolded parts, these are the common factors of the two numbers. To find the greatest common factors, we just have to multiply all their common factors together.
Greatest common factor of 16 & 48: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16
