Since one piece is four time the length x, we can represent that as 4x.

Thus making the equation:

4x+x=275

5x=275

x=55

4(55)=220

220+55=275

So, the length of the longer piece is 220 inches, and the length of the shorter piece is 55 inches.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!!!

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

we have, 1953125=5⁹, so it cannot be a perfect square. If the last digit of a given number is 5, then the last three digits must be perfect squares, 025 or 225 or 625. Otherwise, that number cannot be a perfect square. And as 125 is not a perfect square, so no number ending with 125 can be a perfect square
