You may feel somewhat overwhelmed right now, because this question is giving the reader lots of information and tasks in a short paragraph. Let's break it down into pieces.

1. First, let's find the ratio of the lengths.

Since the ratio is 7 to 3, we can find the length of each licorice piece by setting its proportion over 10, since that is the sum of the ratio. Thus, one licorice piece has a length of 60 * 7/10 = 42 cm and the other has a length of 60 * 3/10 = 18 cm.

2. Now, let's create our squares.

Each piece is bent to form a square. In other words, the pieces is split into 4 equal sides. Thus, we can divide our lengths by 4. The first piece of licorice made into a square has side lengths of 42/4 = 10.5 cm. The second piece of licorice has side lengths of 18/4 = 4.5 cm.

3. Finding the area of our squares.

Now, all we need to do is find the sum of the areas of the squares. The first square has an area of 10.5^2 = 110.25 cm^2 and the second square has an area of 4.5^2 = 20.25 cm^2. Thus, our answer is 130.5 cm^2.

Can someone explain (with steps) how to rationalize the following expression?
insens350 [35]
F(x)=(-2/((x+y-2)^(1/2))-(x+y+2)^(1/2)
the only irrational part of this expression is the (x+y-2)^(1/2) in the denominator, so, to rationalize this, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator, as well as the other parts of the expression
also, you must multiply the -sqrt(x+y+2) by sqrt(x+y-2)/sqrt(x+y-2) to form a common denominator
(-2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)-(x+y+2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(common denominator)
(-2-(x^2+xy+2x+xy+y^2+2y-2x-2y-4))/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(FOIL)
(-2-x^2-y^2-2xy+4)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Distribute negative)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Simplify numerator)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Rationalize denominator by multiplying both top and bottom by sqrt)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)((x+y-2)^(1/2))/(x+y-2)
(The function is now rational)
=(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(sqrt(x+y-2))/(x+y-2)

Find the missing side lengths
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

y = 9√3

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

taking 30 as reference angle

b = y

p = 9

h = x

so

tan30 = p/b

1/√3 = 9/b

or, b = 9√3

so

h^2 = p^2 + b^2\\x^2 = 9^2 + y^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + (9\sqrt{3} )^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + 243\\or, x ^2 = 324\\or, x =\sqrt{324} \\\\so x = 18
