240 inches cut into 2 equal pieces is just taking half of the wire.
Making the two pieces of wire 120 inches. 
If you bend one 120 inch wire into a square, that means that each side equals 30 inches. (A square has 4 sides. 120/4 = 30)
An area of a square is length times width, which the length equals 30 and width equal to thirty. 30 * 30 = 900. square inches. 
120 wire bent into a triangle makes each side equal to 40. 120/3=40. The area of an equilateral triangle is height times width. The width is just one of the sides (40 inches) but the height needs some geometry. To find the height you need to use either 30 times sin(60) or 30 times cos(30), both are equal. To be clear, I will leave the height as 30sin(60). The area will be equal to 40*30sin(60)
which can be simply written as 1200sin(60). 
So the sum of both areas is (1200sin(60)+900)

Answer:

Should be the second and third ones. If you multiply the values together, 3/4s will equal 3/16 and 3/32 with the other value.

How many solutions does the system of equations below have?<br><br> y= 3x + 4<br> 2y -8 = 6x
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

infinitely many solutions (infinite solutions)

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - 8 = 6x

   +8    +8

-------------------------------

2y = 6x + 8

\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{6x}{2} + \frac{8}{2}

-------------------------------

y = 3x + 4

Because 3x + 4 = 3x + 4, there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations. This is because they're the exact same equations. Any substitution for x will give you a true statement to y when compared to the other equation.
