Answer: the original length of the piece of wood is 23 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original length of the piece of wood.

He cuts 3 feet off the piece of wood. This means that the remaining length of wood would be

(x - 3) feet

he cuts the remaining length of wood into four equal parts. if each part is 5 feet long, it means that

(x - 3)/4 = 5

Cross multiplying by 4, it becomes

x - 3 = 4 × 5

x - 3 = 20

x = 23

Please help! this is due today and this is the only question left!!
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

13.73 sq mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Square - Area of Circle = Area of Shaded Region

if radius of circle is 4 then diameter is 8

the diameter is the same as the length of each side of the square

so area of square = 8² or 64

Area of Circle = 16π

64 - 16π ≈ 13.73

Question 4:

OOOOOHHH a breakthrough! I was confused when I read this question but now I get it!

Okay when dividing this equation I would do this

5^4

25

Since 25 is 5 x 5 I would mark it as 5^2, and then I can subtract!

5^4

5^2 =

5^2

If you do it like this then it would be the first choice.

you are given an 8-gallon jug filled with water and also two empty jugs: one that holds 5 gallons and other that holds 3 gallons
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.

1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.

2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.

We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.

3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.

4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.

Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.

5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.

6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.

7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.

8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.
