Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

How do you do this math problem??<br><br><br> BRAINLEST for anyone who helps and explains!!
guapka [62]

Answer:

It is angle k and angle l

Step-by-step explanation:

When opposite sides are given, especially for a right triangle, the longer the length the bigger the angle. The hypotenuse, which is across the right angle is always longest. The shortest side will always have the smallest angle. Check the image if it helps.

Solve the equation 5x-2x^2+1
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:

5x-2x^2+1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.  Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:

-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac:  25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33

Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.

                                                             -b ± √(discriminant)

Applying the quadratic formula   x = --------------------------------

                                                                         2a

we get:

      -5 ± √33           -5 + √33

x = ----------------- = --------------------- and

           2(-2)                     -4

                                  -5 - √33

                                 ---------------

                                         -4
