How can you use four rods that measure 2 cm 5 cm 7 cm 9 cm to measure a length of one

Mathematics

vichka [17]3 years ago

<span>If you put the 9cm and 2cm rods together end-on-end, the new length is 11cm. Now if you repeat this with the 7cm and 5cm rods that new length is 12cm, so the difference between the two is now 1 cm. It does not seem very practical to walk around measuring items using the rods like this, so you could then make a small rod or use a strip of paper equal to the difference (1cm) as a standard measuring tool.</span>

Put 3/8, 2/5, and 0.38 from least to greatest
Vesnalui [34]
3/8=0.375
2/5=0.4
0.38=0.38

0.375<0.38<0.4

therefore: 3/8,0.38,2/5

*Remember that you can convert fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator! This makes it much easier to compare :)

Problem: A piece of farmland is a watering plot of land in a circular pattern. A sewer line needs to be installed from a new hou
Musya8 [376]

The entry and exit points of (2, 3), and (12, 6), and 200 ft. extension of the sprinkler system gives;

(1) The sewer line crosses the farmland at (6.53, 4.36), and (8.48, 4.9)

(2) The longest installable sprinkler system is approximately 172.4 feet

<h3>How can the points where the line crosses the farmland be found?</h3>

1. The slope of the sewer line is found as follows;

  • m = (6 - 3)/(12 - 2) = 3/10 = 0.3

The equation of the sewer line can be expressed in point and slope form as follows;

  • (y - 3) = 0.3×(x - 2)

y = 0.3•x - 0.6 + 3

y = 0.3•x + 2.4

The equation of the circumference of the sprinkler can be expressed as follows;

  • (x - 8)² + (y - 3)² = 2²

Therefore;

(x - 8)² + (0.3•x + 2.4 - 3)² = 2²

Solving gives;

x= 6.53, or x = 8.48

y = 0.3×6.53 + 2.4 = 4.36

y = 0.3×8.48 + 2.4 = 4.9

Therefore;

  • The sewer line crosses the farmland at (6.53, 4.36), and (8.48, 4.9)

2. When the farmland does not cross the sewer line, we have;

sewer line is tangent to circumference of farmland

Slope of radial line from center of the land is therefore;

m1 = -1/0.3

Equation of the radial line to the point the sewer line is tangent to the circumference is therefore;

y - 3 = (-1/0.3)×(x - 8)

Which gives;

y = (-1/0.3)×(x - 8) + 3

The x-coordinate is therefore;

0.3•x + 2.4 = (-1/0.3)×(x - 8) + 3

  • x ≈ 7.5

  • y = 0.3 × 7.5 + 2.4 ≈ 4.65

The longest sprinkler system is therefore;

d = √((7.5 - 8)² + (4.65 - 3)²) ≈ 1.724

Which gives;

  • The longest sprinkler system is 1.724 × 100 ft. ≈ 172.4 ft.

What is the sum of 9+10 (;
garri49 [273]

Answer:

19 or 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

I swear.

5 + 5 = 10

10 + 5 = 15

15 + 4 = 19

________________

9 + 9 = 18

18 + 10 = 28

28 - 5 = 23

There are two nines so

23 - 2 = 21

Square root of 22801 by long division method
mezya [45]
First step: partition the number you want to square root into a block of 2 digits, starting from the last digit (first diagram)

Second step: As our number is a five-digits, we ends up with 2  28  01. Pick a number that could be squared to get the first partition, 2. This number is 1, since 1×1=1

Third step: Write 1 on the top and on the side, as shown in the second graph

Fourth step: Double the number on the side, which is 1+1=2 and use this number as the first digit for the next multiplier. Meanwhile, subtract 1 from 2 inside the root sign to get 1, then pull the other two digits, 28

Fifth step: We need a value in the boxes that when we multiply together will give a number less than 128. We choose 5 as 25×5=125

Sixth step: Subtract 125 from  128 to give 3, and as the same concept with long division, bring down the 0 and the 1. So we have 301

Seventh step: Add 5 to the multiplier on the left, so 20+5=30, which we will use on the side as the hundred and ten digits.

Final step: Find a number to fit in the boxes. We choose 1 since 301×1=301

And hence the square root of 228801 is 151
