Answer:

23/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle we need to add all the sides. Since the sides all have different denominators in their fractions, first we need to make the denominator the same.

5/4 = 10/8

3/2 = 12/8

1/8 = 1/8

Then we just add the numerators and keep the denominator the same, which gets us 23/8 meters. Since 23/8 can be simplified, that's the answer.

A dog trainer has 104 ft of fencing that will be use to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclose

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the work area in feet

y-----> the width of the work area in feet

we know that

The perimeter of the work area is equal to

$104=2(x+y)$

simplify

$52=(x+y)$

$y=52-x$ ----> equation A

The area of the work area is equal to

$576=xy$ ---> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$576=x(52-x)$

$576=52x-x^2$

$x^2-52x+576=0$

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solutions are

x=16 ft, y=36 ft

x=36 ft, y=16 ft

see the attached figure

therefore

The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft

Tim wants to boil rice on the stove. He needs to use exactly three gallons of water in a pot to boil the rice. Which method shou

MatroZZZ [7]

A. is obviously the most easiest one, as you just have to fill it up 3 times to get 3 gallons.

The next one to measure exactly 3 gallons of water is B), because:

1) the 100-gallon barrel is more than 1 gallon, and is much more harder than 3 gallons.

2) Each person's 'palm' can hold different amounts of water, and so it can vary by the size of the palm.

So IF it cannot be (A), then your next choice is (B), as you only need 768 teaspoons for each gallon.

But, you should report this problem to the teacher, since A is obviously the best choice
