konstantin123 [22]3 years ago

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 12 = 4

1/4 of 12 = 3

4 is 1 more than 3.

The number is 12.

_____

If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:

  x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1

  x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)

  x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

There is a L-shaped sidewalk that is 158 meters long. By cutting across the lawn, the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Each side of the L-shaped sidewalk is 126 m and 32m respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total length of the sidewalk = 158 meters

Cutting across the lawn the distance = 130 meters

The L-shaped lawn will be treated as a right angled triangle.

So the 130 m distance is the hypotenuse here.

Let one side of the L-shaped lawn be 'x' meter so the another side will be (158-x) meters.

Applying Pythagoras formula.

(Hypotenuse)^2=(height)^2+(base)^2

So,

⇒ (130)^2=x^2 +(158-x)^2

⇒ (130)^2=x^2+(158-x)(158-x)

⇒ 16900=x^2+24964-158x-158x+x^2

⇒ 16900 =2x^2-316x+24964

⇒ 2x^2+316x+24964-16900=0

⇒ 2x^2-316x+8064=0

⇒ x^2-158x+4032=0

Applying quadratic formula;

Quadratic formula : \frac{\pm b \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} where a=1 and b=-158 and c=4032

So the value of x= 126 and 32.

The length of each side of the sidewalk is 'x'= 126 m and '(158-x)'='(158-126)'=32 m

The radius of the base of a right circular cone is 4 in., and its slant height is 15 in. If the radius and the slant height are
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

radius r = 4 in

slant height L = 15 in

base area = πr² = 16π in²

lateral area = πrL = 60π  in²

surface area = 76π in²

r = 4×6, L = 15×6

base area = (4×6)²π = 16π×36

lateral area = 60π×36

surface area is multiplied by 36

Since we’re trying to find minutes, concert all known information to minutes

1 hr 15 mins = 75 mins
1 hr 30 mins = 90 mins

Next, calculate how many total minutes Gage has skated in the first 8 days

75(5) + 90(3) = 645 mins

Create an equation to find the average of Gage’s minutes of skating. Add up all the minutes and divide by the total amount of days and set equal to 85, the average we are trying to get.

(645 mins + x mins)/9 days = 85

Solve for x

645 + x = 765
x = 120

So, in order to have an average of an 85 minute skate time, Gage would need to skate 120 minutes on the ninth day.
