The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in

Suppose that y varies inversely as x, and x=9 when y=15. Find the value for k and write the function. Group of answer choices La
Radda [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition that x = 9 when y = 15

15 = \frac{k}{9} ( multiply both sides by 9 )

k = 135

y = \frac{135}{x} ← equation of variation

Quick i need help so bad :(
Vanyuwa [196]

There are 4 triangles with base of 5 and height of 8.4

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of triangle = 1/2 x 5 x 8.4 = 21 m^2

Multiply by 4 = 21 x 4 = 84 m^2

Area of the base = length x width = 5 x 5 = 25 m^2

Total area = 84 + 25 = 109 m^2

Solve for x<br><br> Need help with this last question
Serhud [2]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2(78°) = 20x - 4

156 = 20x - 4

add 4 to each side of the equation:

160 = 20x

divide both sides by 20:

x = 8
