Answer: 6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 4-foot by 8-foot rectangular piece of plywood will be cut into 4 congruent rectangles with no wood left over and no wood lost due to the cuts
Let assume that the 4 rectangles will be of the same area since they are congruent.
The area of the big rectangle will be
Area = 4 × 8 = 32
Divide 32 by 4
32/4 = 8
Suggest the two possible numbers in which their product will be equal to 8
4 and 2 or 8 and 1
If 4 and 2
The perimeter = 2L + 2B
Substitute the 4 and 2 into the formula
Perimeter = 2(4) + 2(2)
Perimeter = 8 + 4
Perimeter = 12
If 8 and 1
Perimeter = 2(8) + 2(1)
Perimeter = 16 + 2 = 18
The positive difference, in feet, between the greatest possible perimeter of a single piece and the least possible perimeter of a single piece will be:
18 - 12 = 6 feet
Answer:
16+2=18
18-3=15
2*3=6

Answer:
The roots of the equation 2m²+3=m are non-real roots.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
2m²+3=m
2m²-m+3=0
Here, from the equation we can obtain the following values:
a = 2, b = -1, c = 3
Discriminant of an equation is given as:
D = b²-4ac
= (-1)²-4(2)(3)
= 1 - 21
= -20
Discriminant can tell what kinds of roots the equation have.
In our case, the discriminant is less than 0.
When D < 0, the roots of the equation are complex conjugates.(non-real)
Answer:
2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x-1
g(x) = x+2
Find (f-g)(x), this means we need to subtract g from x.
(3x-1) - (x+2)
Subtract the like terms:
3x -x = 2x
-1 -2 = -3
Combine them to get 2x-3
