Answer:

The one with 3/10 left has more

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the two numbers. Use a common denominator of 10,

1/5 = (1*2)/(5*2) we multiplied by 2/2, which is 1, so the value is the same

(1*2)/(5*2) = 2/10

2/10 is less than 3/10, so the glue stick with 3/10 left has more

A monitor measures 10.6 inches by 16.8 what is the length of the diagonal

Ludmilka [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use pythagoras' Theorem for this question

${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

where c is the longest side (in this case, the diagonal)

a and b are the 2nd and 3rd longest side (interchangeable)

given a = 10.6, b = 16.8,

${c}^{2} = {10.6}^{2} + {16.8}^{2} \\ {c}^{2} = 112.36 + 282.24 \\ {c}^{2} = 394.6 \\ c = \sqrt{394.6} \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{9865} }{5} inches$

A rectangular Corn Hole area at the Recreation Center has a width of 5 feet and a length of 10 feet. If

inysia [295]

Answer:

2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the uniform amount added to each side

we know that

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

$(5+x)(10+x)=84$

solve for x

Apply distributive property

$50+ 5x+10x+x^2=84\\x^2+15x-34=0$

solve the quadratic c equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^2+15x-34=0$

$a=1\\b=15\\c=-34$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{15^{2}-4(1)(-34)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{361}} {2}$

$x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}$

$x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}=2$

$x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}=-17$

therefore

The solution is x=2 ft
