Zoe has a board 5 1/4 long. she cut off a piece. now the board is 3 5/6 feet long. how long was the piece she cut off

2 answers:

5 0

The piece Zoe cut off would be 1 and 5/12 ft long.
5 and 1/4 - 3 and 5/6
The least common denominator is 24.
5 and 6/24 - 3 and 20/24
5 and 6/24 becomes 4 and 30/24
4 and 30/24 - 3 and 20/24 = 1 and 10/24
1 and 10/24 can be simplified to 1 and 5/12.

Answer:

length of piece cut off from the board was $1\frac{5}{12}$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Board with Zoe has the length = $5\frac{1}{4}$ feet

≈ $\frac{21}{4}$ feet

Now she cut off a piece of length then the length of the board = $3\frac{5}{6}$ feet

≈ $\frac{23}{6}$ feet

Length of the piece of piece she cut off = $\frac{21}{4}-\frac{23}{6}$

= $\frac{63-46}{12}$

= $\frac{17}{12}$

= $1\frac{5}{12}$ feet

Therefore, length of piece cut off from the board was $1\frac{5}{12}$ feet.

Karl had planned to drive for 1023 hours on a certain day during his road trip. When he became sleepy, however, he decided to de

netineya [11]

Since Karl became sleepy and decided to decrease his driving time by 25%, he drove <u>767.25 hours</u> that day.

<h3>What is driving time?</h3>

Planned driving time is the estimated time that Karl planned to drive between two points or to one's destination.

The Actual driving time is the actual time that it took Karl to drive from one point to his destination.

Driving time can be estimated or calculated by dividing the distance by the speed.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The planned driving hours on a certain day = 1,023 hours

Decrease in driving time = 25%

Percentage of hours Karl drove = 75% (100 - 25)

Hours drove that day = 767.25 hours (1,023 x 75%)

Thus, Karl drove <u>767.25 hours</u> that day.

What other information do you need in order to prove the triangles congruent using the SAS congruence postulate

iren [92.7K]

AC is perpendicular to BD.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We observe that both the ABC triangle and the ADC triangle have the same AC side length. Therefore we know that $\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }$ is reflexive.
The length of the base of the triangle is the same, i.e., $\boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }$ .
In order to prove the triangles congruent using the SAS congruence postulate, we need the other information, namely $\boxed{ \ AC \bot BD \ }$ . Thus we get ∠ACB = ∠ACD = 90°.

Conclusions for the SAS Congruent Postulate from this problem:

$\boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }$
∠ACB = ∠ACD
$\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} = \overline{AC} \ }$

The following is not other or additional information along with the reasons.

∠CBA = ∠CDA no, because that is AAS with ∠ACB = ∠ACD and $\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }$
∠BAC = ∠DAC no, because that is ASA with $\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }$ and ∠ACB = ∠ACD.
$\boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }$ no, because already marked.

Notes

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle; the included angle properly represents the angle formed by two sides.
The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate for the congruent triangles: two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle; the included side properly represents the side between the vertices of the two angles.
The SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides within the other.
The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: two pairs of corresponding angles and a pair of opposite sides are equal in both triangles.

Find the following values from the information given<br> cot(theta°); tan(theta°) = −0.0005

Greeley [361]

Answer:

cot(θ°) = 2000 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The value of tan(θ°) = −0.0005

To solve:

cot(θ°)

Now,

we know the relation between cot and tan function as:

cot(θ°) = $\frac{1}{\tan\theta}$

therefore on substituting the value of theta in the above relation, we can find the value of cot(θ°)

Thus,

cot(θ°) = $\frac{1}{-0.0005}$

cot(θ°) = 2000
