A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft

Create a factorable polynomial with a GCF of 6. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was
lubasha [3.4K]
OK   well take out the 6 for the first form

= 6(2x^2 + x + 4)

Also we can factor the first 2 terms to give the second form:-

=  6x(2x + 1) + 24

Please help! i'm confused!<br> Find the area of a kites with diagonals 9in and 12in.
kolbaska11 [484]
Notice the picture
the rhombus, or kite, is really just 4 triangles
all sides are the same lenght in a rhombus,

thus, find the area of all of the triangles,
and you already have two sides given,
and then, add them up

or just find the length of one, and multiply times 4 :)

recall, area of a triangle = 1/2 bh
