All pieces of pizza must be square with none left over. What is the side length of the largest square pieces into which Juanita

and Samuel can cut the pizza?

Answer:

6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Juanita and samuel are planning a pizza party. they order a rectangle sheet pizza that measures 21 inches by 36 inches.? they tell the pizza maker not to cut it because they want to cut it themselves. All pieces of pizza must be square with none left over. what is the side length of the largest square pieces into which juanita and samuel can cut the pizza?

First we need to calculate the area of the rectangular pizza.

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area of the rectangular pizza= 21×36

Area of the rectangular pizza = 756in²

Next is to equate the area of the rectangle to the area of a square.

Area of a square = L²

Therefore L² = 756

L = √756

L = √36×21

L = √36×√21

L = 6√21

This means that the length if the largest square they can cut is 6in (ignoring the irrational part of the length gotten)

Leena walked 2/3 of a mile What is 2/3 written as a sum of unit fractions with the denominator of nine
aliya0001 [1]
Bear in mind that multiplying anything, and anything whatsoever by 1, has a product of the anything itself.

so, let's multiply 2/3 by 1 then and check about,

\bf \cfrac{same}{same}=1\qquad thus\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 1\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{6}{9}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we can split that and write it as a sum}\implies \cfrac{1+5}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{9}+\cfrac{5}{9}

Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.
Rashid [163]

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5
