Answer:

Dimensions of photo excluding border:

x = 11 inches

y = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be 'x' and width be 'y'.

The width of a photo is 5 inches less than its length, that is:

x-5 = y

let 'X' be length of photo including border and 'Y' be the width of photo including border:

Where X = x+2 and Y = y+2

Now , we have X-5 = Y

and X*Y = 104 square inches

*putting Y = X-5*

X(X-5) = 104

X^2 - 5X - 104 = 0

X^2 - 13X + 8X - 104 =

X(X-13)+8(X-13) = 0\\(X-13)(X+8)

⇒ X-13 = 0          or        X+8 = 0

Hence X = 13       or X = -8

As length can not be negative, X = 13 inches

Y = X-5 = 13-5 = 8 inches

Dimensions of photo excluding border:

x = X - 2 = 13-2 = 11 inches

y = Y-2   =  8-2 =  6 inches

2.85 as a mixed number
WARRIOR [948]
The number 2.85 can be writen using the fraction 285/100 which is equal to 57/20 when reduced to lowest terms.
It is also equal to 2 17/20 when writen as a mixed number.
You can use the following approximate value(s) for this number:57/20 =~ 2 6/7 (if you admit a error of 0.250627%)2.85 =~ 2 5/6 (if you admit a error of -0.584795%)2.85 =~ 3 (if you admit a error of 5.263158%)

2) Calculate the surface<br> area of the cylinder:<br> 5 cm
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

28π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of a cylinder is given by the formula:

  • 2πrh + 2πr²

where r is the radius of the base, and h is the height.

Using the image, we can find that the radius of the cylinder would be 2 cm, and the height would be 5 cm.

Now, to find the surface area of the cylinder, we would have to plug in 2 for r (the radius of the base) and 5 for h (the height of the cylinder) into the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

Now we plug in 2 for r and 5 for h for the equation for the surface area of a cylinder:

2π(2)(5) + 2π(2)² = 20π + 2π(4) = 20π + 8π = 28π

Remember, the radius and the height are given to us in cm, and w are solving for surface area, so the answer should be in cm² (square centimeters).

The surface area of the cylinder would be 28π cm².

28π cm² would be an exact answer. For the approximate answer, plug in 3.14 (most math classes use 3.14 to approximate π) for π.

I hope you find this helpful. :)

What is the value of x?<br> x = [ ? ]
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent to the angle makes an angle of 90° with the radius.

The interior angle of the equilateral triangle is 60, so that leaves 90-60 = 30° for the remaining angle with the tangent.

By the exterior angle theorem, 30°+x° = 60° (interior angle of the equilateral triangle), therefore

x = 60-30 = 30°.

Vera and her roommates ate 1 1/3 pints of ice cream on Friday night and 1 1/6 pints of ice cream on Saturday night. How many pin
Andreas93 [3]

1 1/3 + 1 1/6

 add the 1 +1 = 2

add 1/3 + 1/6 ( find common denominator, which in this case is 6)

 so 1/3 becomes 2/6

2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 which reduces to 1/2

 they ate  2 1/2 pints total
