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.

Help, I don’t understand this DeltaMath question
djyliett [7]
I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.

To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.

Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent

Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)

Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft

Hope this helps!

What exponential function is the best fit for the data in the table?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

   f(x)=1/4(4)^(x-1) -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative value for x=2 tells you that the vertical offset cannot be positive. That rules out the 1st and 3rd choices.

You can try x=2 in the remaining functions to see which works:

  f(2) = 4(4^(2-1)) -4 = 12 ≠ -3 . . . . . . . . the 2nd choice does not work

  f(2) = (1/4)(4^(2-1) -4 = -3 . . . . . . . . . . the 4th choice matches the table
