Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

What is the total area of the figure below?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

141 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle: Base*Height*1/2

Area of a trapezoid: Height * (Base1 +Base2) / 2

Triangle Base = 6

Triangle Height = 8

6*8*1/2 = 24 square inches

Trapezoid Height = 9

Trapezoid Base1 = 16

Trapezoid Base2 = 10

9*(16+10) / 2 = 117 square inches

Total = Area of triangle + Area of trapezoid

Total = 24 + 117 = 141 square inches

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation 3y=-4x+2?
Zarrin [17]
The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.

To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).

    3y = -4x + 2
    y = -4/3x + 2/3

The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.

Answer:
3/4 (the first option)

A triangle's height is 10 feet more than its base. If the area of the triangle is 100 square feet, use factoring to find its dim
stiks02 [169]

The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = base + 10

Area = 100 square ft

Area of a triangle= (1/2) (b) (h)

100 = (1/2) (b) (b + 10)

200 = b(b) + 10b

b(b) + 10b - 200 = 0

b(b) + 20b - 10b - 200 = 0

b ( b + 20) -10(b + 20) = 0

(b-10) (b+20) =0

b = 10 (or) b = -20

Here b is the length and cannot be negative.

So, b = 10ft

h = b + 10

h = 10 + 10

h = 20 ft.

The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.

The question that says " a school has 1200 pupils "
Sonja [21]
How many girls like sports?  well, what's 2/5 of 1200? well, is just their product, 2/5 * 1200.

how many boys like sports?  well, what's 3/5 of 1200? 3/5 * 1200.

\bf \cfrac{2}{5}\cdot 1200\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 1200}{5}\implies \cfrac{2400}{5}\implies \stackrel{girls}{480}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{5}\cdot 1200\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 1200}{5}\implies \cfrac{3600}{5}\implies \stackrel{boys}{720}
\\\\\\
\textit{how many }\stackrel{students}{pupils}\textit{ like sports?}\qquad 480 + 720
