Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
      = 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
   = 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
                = 80 + 20
                = 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
                = 80 cm - 20
                = 60cm

Hope this helps :))

Dado dos ángulos complementarios, uno mide (2x + 10) y el otro (x + 20),
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

El valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o <em>x</em> = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lo primero que se debe saber es que <em>dos ángulos complementarios suman un ángulo recto o 90º</em>.

Supongamos que el valor de un ángulo \\ \alpha y un ángulo \\ \beta valen:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Como la suma de  \\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

Entonces

\\ \alpha + \beta = (2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90

Sumamos los factores comunes entre si:

\\ (2x + x) + (10 + 20) = 90

Para la primera expresión debemos recordar que se suman sólo los coeficientes. Así:

\\ (2 + 1)x + (10 + 20) = 90

\\ 3x + 30 = 90

Para despejar la incógnita <em>x</em>, debemos tener en cuenta que <em>una igualdad no se altera si se suma, se resta, se multiplica o divide un mismo valor a cada lado de ella</em>. Por esta razón, para despejar 3x, lo primero que podemos hacer es sumar -30 a cada lado de la expresión (lo que es igual a restar 30 a cada lado de la misma). Así tenemos:

\\ 3x + 30 - 30 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x + 0 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x = 60

Ahora dividimos cada miembro de la igualdad entre 3 (o multiplicamos cada lado de la igualdad por \\ \frac{1}{3} ):

\\ \frac{3}{3}x = \frac{60}{3}

Como sabemos que:

\\ \frac{3}{3} = 1

Entonces:

\\ 1*x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = 20

De esta manera, el valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o x = 20.

Lo anterior lo podemos comprobar considerando las ecuaciones [1], [2] y [3]. Así tenemos que:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

Sustituimos x por el valor de 20:

\\ \alpha = 2*20 + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Hacemos lo mismo para [2]:

\\ \beta = 20 + 20

\\ \beta = 40

De esta manera:

\\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

\\ 50 + 40 = 90

PLEASE HELP!!!!
love history [14]
<h3>Answer is 1.5 square meters</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

The portion of the fabric that is laying across the ground is 2 meters. The portion of the fabric from the ground to the highest point (along the fabric's edge) is 1.5 meters, half of that is 0.75 meters and this is the length of the shadow. We can see this by forming a 30-60-90 triangle. The hypotenuse is 1.5 meters, the short leg is 0.75 meters. The short leg is always half of the hypotenuse of any 30-60-90 triangle, and the short leg is opposite the 30 degree angle.

So this shadow has length of 2 meters and 0.75 meters, making its area be 0.75*2 = 1.5 square meters when the sun is directly overhead at 12 noon
