Answer:

The longer part is <u>45 cm</u> long and the shorter part is <u>25 cm</u> long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 70 cm long stick is cut into two parts in such a way that the longer part is 20 cm longer than the shorter part.

Now, to find the length of each part of the stick.

Let the shorter part be x.

So, the longer part is x+20.

Total length of the stick = 70 cm.

Now, to get the length of each part we solve an equation:

(x)+(x+20)=70\\\\x+x+20=70\\\\2x+20=70\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 20\ we\ get:\\\\2x=50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\ we\ get:\\\\x=25.

<em>The length of the shorter part is 25 cm.</em>

Now, substituting the value of x:

x+20\\\\=25+20\\\\=45\ cm.

<em>The length of longer part is 45 cm.</em>

Therefore, the longer part is 45 cm long and the shorter part is 25 cm long.

exis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cartesian plane :

quadrant 1 : both x and y are positive

quadrant 2 : x is negative, y is positive

quadrant 3 : both x and y are negative

quadrant 4 : x is positive and y is negative

(-2,4)......we have x is negative and y is positive...so we are in quadrant 2

(3,-1)....we have x is positive and y is negative...in quadrant 4

(-1,0) ...if u have a 0 in ur points, they do not lie in any quadrant because they are located on an axis....this is located on axis x

(1,2)....both are positive....located in quadrant 1

(-3,-5)...both are negative.....quadrant 3
