I believe the answer would be 15,626 , since to find the square inches you just multiple to two measurements together, hope this is right

Answer: 12 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two lenghts, 108in and 144in, and we want to divide it in squares (remember that the squares have the same lenght in both sides)

So we need to find a common factor between 108 and 144, and if we want to find the minimum number of squares used, we need to find the bigger common factor betwen those two numbers (if we use bugher lengths for the square sides, we will use less squares) To find it we chose the smaller number and we divide it by 2

108/2 = 54

This number divides the other?

144/54 = 2.66 is not a integer number, so 54 is not a common factor.

now we try with 108/3 = 36

and we try:

144/36 = 4

So 36 is a common factor

And we have:

144/36 = 4

108/36 = 3

so the total number of squares is 4*3 = 12

<h3>What is the box and whisker plot?</h3>

A box and whisker plot is a method of abstracting a set of data that is approximated using an interval scale. It's also known as a box plot. These are primarily used to interpret data.

We have data on the box plot.

Because the dots decrease as the number line grows, the depicted dot plot is skewed right.

The graph's "tail" is pushed toward greater positive numbers. As a result, the mean is pushed towards the graph's tail and is higher than the median.

Thus, the data are skewed and there is an outlier statement first is correct.

the height of an equivalent triangle is 15cm and it's perimeter is 36cm find the area of the triangle​
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The area is 72 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is equivalent triangle

h = b

so,

b + b + b (since all sides are equal)= 36 cm

3b = 36 cm

or, b = 36/3

so, b = 12 cm

so

area of triangle = (1/2)×b×h

= (1/2)×12cm×12cm

= 6cm × 12cm

= 72 cm²

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the following eq
olchik [2.2K]

Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:

Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.

Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.

Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.

11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high.  11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!

It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.

Adam cut a piece of string 42 inches long into 2 pieces. The ratio of the length of the 2 peices is 3:4, what is the length, to
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Shorter piece length is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked first piece with x and second with y

x + y = 42

Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4

From this proportion we get

x = 3 c  and y = 4 c   where c is coefficient of proportionality

when we replace this in initial equation we get

3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6    c = 6

x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches  and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches

shorter piece is x = 18 inches

God with you!!!
