A 276-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is five times the length of the other. Find the lengths of the two pieces

1 answer:

7 0

The smallest is 1/(5+1) = 1/6 of the total length, so is (276 in)/6 = 46 in.
The largest is 5*46 in = 230 in.

The two pieces are 46 in and 230 in.

seraphim [82]

The common difference is 1 1/3
40-1 1/3= 38 2/3
38 2/3-1 1/3=37 1/3
37 1/3-1 1/3=36
Therefore the missing number is 38 2/3

slega [8]

Answer:

They should walk on a bearing of 59.4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$South = 4.2km$

$West = 7.1km$

Required

The bearing back to the base

The given question is illustrated with the attached image.

To do this, we simply calculate the measure of angle a using:

$\tan(a) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

$\tan(a) = \frac{7.1}{4,2}$

$\tan(a) = 1.6905$

Take arctan of both sides

$a = \tan^{-1}(1.6905)$

$a = 59.4^o$
