Yes. The umbrella is smaller than the suitcase. The suitcase is 81'^2, but the umbrella is 14

I will assume that when you say 14", you are referring to the diameter of the open umbrella.
When an umbrella is folded down, really the only dimension we need to figure out is the distance from top to bottom - which, when spread open, is the same distance as the radius.
To find the radius: 14 divided by 2 = 7.
No matter which way you turn the umbrella - vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, 7 is smaller than 9 or 12. So yes, you can fit the umbrella in the suitcase when it is closed.

Simplify sqrt72 -3sqrt12 + sqrt 192

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

$6\sqrt{2}+2{\sqrt3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$\sqrt{72}-3\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{192}$

Rewrite 72 as (36 · 2), 12 as (4 · 3), and 192 as (64 · 3):

$\implies \sqrt{36 \cdot 2}-3\sqrt{4 \cdot 3}+\sqrt{64 \cdot 3}$

Apply the radical rule $\sqrt{a \cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}$ :

$\implies \sqrt{36}\sqrt{2}-3\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{64}{\sqrt3}$

Rewrite 36 as 6², 4 as 2², and 64 as 8²:

$\implies \sqrt{6^2}\sqrt{2}-3\sqrt{2^2}\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{8^2}{\sqrt3}$

Apply the radical rule $\sqrt{a^2}=a$ :

$\implies 6\sqrt{2}-3\cdot 2\sqrt{3}+8{\sqrt3}$

Simplify:

$\implies 6\sqrt{2}-6\sqrt{3}+8{\sqrt3}$

$\implies 6\sqrt{2}+2{\sqrt3}$

20 - 9w = 4(15 - w) solve for w

posledela

Answer:

w = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1:(20 - 9w) - 4 • (15 - w) = 0

step 2: -5w - 40 = -5 • (w + 8)

step 3: -5 • (w + 8) = 0

step 4: Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation :

w = -8
