Hey there!!

Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches

Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches

The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches

... x + x - 8 = 54

... 2x - 8 = 54

... Add 8 on both sides

... 2x = 62

... Divide 2 on both sides

... x = 31

Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches

The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches

Hope my answer helps!!

What must be added to x² + 6x²-x+ 5 to make it exact divisible by (x + 3)​
maxonik [38]

Let f(x) = x² + 6x²-x+ 5 then ,

number to be added be P

then,

f(x) = x² + 6x²-x+ 5 +P

According to the qn,

(x+3) is exactly divisible by zero then,

R=0

comparing .. we get a= -3

now by remainder theorm

R=f(a)

0=f(-3)

0=(-3)² + 6(-3)²-(-3)+ 5 + P

0= 9 + 54 + 3 + 5 + P

-71=P

therefore, -71 should be added.

Hope you understand

A triangular pyramid has a volume of 333 and one-third yards cubed. What are the possible measures of the area of the base, B, a
FrozenT [24]

To find the option that satisfies the volume of the triangle, we can solve each option.

Formula for the volume a triangular prism: V = 1/3bh

Option A:

B = 50 centimeters squared; h = 10 centimeters

V = 1/3(50)(10)

V = 1/3(500)

V = 166.666... or 166 2/3 yards.

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option B:

B = 50 centimeters squared; h = 30 centimeters

V = 1/3(50)(30)

V = 1/3(1500)

V = 500 yards.

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option C:

B = 100 centimeters squared; h = 10 centimeters

V = 1/3(100)(10)

V = 1/3(1000)

V = 333.333... or 333 1/3 yards.

Therefore, this option is correct.

Option D:

B = 100 centimeters squared; h = 30 centimeters

V = 1/3(100)(30)

V = 1/3(3000)

V = 1000 yards.

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is [ B = 100 centimeters squared; h = 10 centimeters ]

Best of Luck!
