If we have 420 books for every 7 shelves and are looking for how many books are on 4 shelves, we need to set up fractional proportions.

We have 7 shelves for every 420 books, so we will have our first fraction like this:
7/420.
We also have 4 shelves for every x books, so our second fraction will be 4/x.

Set these fractions up as an equation.
7/420 = 4/x

To solve for x, we need to cross multiply the numerators of one fraction with the denominators of the other fraction.
In other words, multiply the top number of one fraction by the bottom number of the other question.

It should look like this:
7(x)
420(4)

7(x) = 7x
420(4) = 1680

Set your products up as an equation.
7x = 1680

Now to solve for x, we need to simplify.
Currently, x is being multiplied by 7.
To get x alone, divide 7x by 7.
Remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other, so divide 1680 by 7.

7x / 7 = x
1680 / 7 = 240

You are left with:
x = 240.

For every 4 shelves you have 240 books.

I hope this helps!

How many unique planes can be determined by four noncoplanar points?
marta [7]

Answer:

Four unique planes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the points are non co-planar, triangular planes can be formed by the joining of three points

The points will therefore appear to be at the corners of a triangular pyramid or tetrahedron such that together the four points will form a three dimensional figure bounded by triangular planes

The number of triangular planes that can therefore be formed is given by the combination of four objects taking three at a time as follows;

₄C₃ = 4!/(3!×(4-3)! = 4

Which gives four possible unique planes.

Find the perimiter now

that is right triangle so
when hpotonouse is c and hthe lgs are a and b
a²+b²=c²

given
leg is 8
hypotonuse is 13

8²+b²=13²
64+b²=169
minus 64 from both sides
b²=105
sqrt both sides
b=√105

find total perimiter
8+13+√105=21+√105

times 1/32 for scale
0.65625+0.32021721143623744947565745876628=
