This is actually a trick question if you were to take this question head on. Say for instance you are cutting all the pieces from the same sheet of metal, the equation would NOT be 8 times 5 equals 40 minutes, but rather 7 times 5 equals 35 minutes. this is because on the 7th cut, it takes that from 6 sheets of metal to 8 because you get 2 from that cut. Take for instence, a Hersheys candy bar. It is 3 bars thick, but it only takes 2 breaks to sever the 3 strips. So, that being said, sam will make 7 cuts and those 7 cuts will make a times of 35 minutes.

Jackie bought a circular rug to place on the floor in her bathroom. The rug has a diameter of 6 feet. What is the area of the ru
Genrish500 [490]
Hey!
The area of the circle would be 28.26 feet squared

Lets break it down:

The formula for the area is pi×radius×radius
We have the diameter, so to find the radius, we need to divide the diameter by 2. 6÷2=3
Now that we have the radius, wr can plug in our numbers: 3.14×3×3= the area, or 28.26 feet sq.

Hope this helps!

The graph of a linear function has a slope of 1/4 and passes through the point (1,3). What is the y-intercept of the function?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope intercept form, y = mx + b, the m is the slope, the b is the y intercept, and x and y can be subbed in from the point you are given of (1, 3).  We are told the slope, so everything we have fills in like this:

3=\frac{1}{4}(1)+b

Now we just need to solve for b:

3-\frac{1}{4}=b and

\frac{12}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=b so

b=\frac{11}{4}

A triangle has one angle that measures 39 degrees, one angle that measures 104 degrees, and one angle that measures 37 degrees.
Nikitich [7]

Answer: Scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles have three sides with specific lengths and angles, but a scalene triangle is a kind of triangle that has each of its three sides to be of different lengths and angles.

Hence, a triangle that measures 39°, 104°, and 37° definitely has three sides with different lengths and angles.

Thus, it is a scalene triangle.
