Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches

Answer:

  1. 4 in
  2. 8 in
  3. 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the three pieces is ...

  x + 2x + 3x = 24 . . . . inches

  6x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  x = 4 . . . . . the length in inches of the first piece

  2x = 8 . . . . the length in inches of the second piece

  3x = 12 . . . . the length in inches of the third piece

0=-16t^2 +10 Solve for t
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

plus or minus √10 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

0=-16t^2 +10 becomes easier to solve if we rewrite it as 16t^2 = 10.

Then t^2 = 10/16 = 5/8, and t = plus or minus √(5/8), or

                                             t = plus or minus (√5) / √8), or

                                             t = plus or minus (√5)√8         √5*2√2

                                                                         ------------- = -------------------

                                                                                 8                    8

or                                                                 plus or minus √10 / 4

Solve the word problem. Round your final result to the nearest hundredth.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1)Area of circle: 64\pi

2)Area of semicircles: 128\pi

3)Area of quarter-circles: 128\pi

4)Total area of pattern: 320\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 8cm

Given: 1 circle, 4 semicircles, and 8 quarter-circles.

Area of a circle: \pi r^{2}

1) A = \pi r^{2} where r = 8

A = 64\pi

2) 4 semicircles = 2 circles

so the answer is 2*A = 128\pi

3) 8 quarter-circles = 2 circles

Therefore, the answer here is the same as the answer for #2!

4)There are 5 circles total because:

1 circle = 1 circle

4 semicircles divided by 2 = 2 circles (because \frac{1}{2} times 4)

8 quarter-circles divided by 4 (think about what "quarter" means) = 2 circles

So ... 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 circles

Now we need to find the area of 5 circles which is just 5*A

5*A = 320\pi

Nikki packed unit cubes into a prism, as shown. Which statement about the volume of the box is true?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

See the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello, recall that you need to write complete questions in order to get exact answers. Here we have a missing diagram so I can help you in a general way. A prism is a three dimensional shape that has two identical ends (flat faces

) and the same cross section all along its length. A cube is a special type of prism having six identical square sides. So the volume of a prism given the length of a side as s is:

V=s^3

For example, suppose we have a box formed by unit cubes as indicated in the figure below, so the length of one side of the blue box will be:

s=1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=8units

So the volume of the blue box is:

V=8^3 \\ \\ V=512units^3
