Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 centimeters longer than twice the

length of the first shelf. The third shelf is 12 centimeters shorter than the first shelf. The remaining shelf is 4 centimeters longer than the first shelf. If Robert must use the entire 2.5 meter board for the shelves, what is the length of the second shelf, in centimeters?

<span>there are 100 centimeters in a meter. 

therefore 2.5 meters = 2.5 * 100 = 250 centimeters. 

x = the length of the first board.
2x + 18 = the length of the second board.
x - 12 = the length of the third board.
x + 4 = the length of the fourth board. 

the total length of all the boards is equal to 5x + 10, 

since the total length of the board is 250 centimeters, then you get: 

5x + 10 = 250 

</span><span>solve for x to get x = 48 centimeters. 

the 4 board lengths are: 

x = 48
2x + 18 = 114
x - 12 = 36
x + 4 = 52 

add them up and you get a total of 250 centimeters. 

250 centimeters / 100 = 2.5 meters. 

this confirms the solution is good.

To the nearest degree what is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular dodecagon
malfutka [58]

Answer:

30^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular dodecagon.

We know that a regular dodecagon is a 12 sided regular polygon with each side equal.

We know that measure of each angle of n-sided regular polygon can be found using formula:

\text{Each exterior angle}=\frac{360^{\circ}}{n}

Upon substituting n=12 in above formula, we will get:

\text{Each exterior angle of a regular dodecagon}=\frac{360^{\circ}}{12}

\text{Each exterior angle of a regular dodecagon}=30^{\circ}

Therefore, the measure of each exterior angle of a regular dodecagon is 30 degrees.

What is the approximate value of the function at x = 6?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

about 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To tell what the y value of a certain x value will be is very simple if we have a graph--you can just look at the portion of the graph where x = 6. At that point, it appears to be 3/4 ish on the y-axis

What is the factored form of 16x2 – 16x – 12?
crimeas [40]
Q1. The answer is 4(2x - 3)(2x + 1)

16x² – 16x – 12 = 4 * 4x² - 4 * 4x - 4 * 3 =
                          = 4(4x² - 4x - 3) =
                          = 4(4x² + 2x - 6x - 3) = 
                          = 4(2x * 2x + 2x - (2x * 3 + 3)) =
                          = 4(2x(2x + 1) - (3(2x + 1))) =
                          = 4((2x + 1)(2x - 3)) =
                          = 4(2x - 3)(2x + 1)


Q2. The answer is 3(x + 8)(x - 1)

3x² + 21x – 24 = 3 * x² + 3 * 7x - 3 * 8 =
                         = 3(x² + 7x - 8) =
                         = 3(x *x - x + 8x - 8) =
                         = 3((x(x - 1) + 8(x - 1)) =
                         = 3(x + 8)(x - 1)

Jessica is planting a garden. It has the shape of a right triangle. She wants 2 plants for each square yard of area. How many pl
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

42 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions are missing.

Suppose a right triangle has a base of length 7yards  and a height of 24 yards.

As you know, Area of triangle can be determined by

Area of triangle 'A'=  1/2 x b x h = 1/2 x 7 x 24

A= 84 yards²

Now she wants 2 plants for each square yard of area

therefore, if the area is 84 yards²:

number of plants are 84/2=> 42 plants

Thus, She wants 42 plants in the garden
