HELP PLEASE! Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 centimeters longer th

an twice the length of the first shelf. The third shelf is 12 centimeters shorter than the first shelf. The remaining shelf is 4 centimeters longer than the first shelf. If Robert must use the entire 2.5 meter board for the shelves, what is the length of the second shelf?

Let us assume the length of the first shelf = x
Then
The length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
Length of the third shelf = x -12
Length of the fourth shelf = x + 4
The total length of the board = 2.5 meters.
                                              = ( 2.5 * 100) cm
                                               = 250 cm
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 18 + x - 12 + x + 4 = 250
5x + 10 = 250
After dividing both sides of the equation by 5 we get
x + 2 = 50
x = 50 - 2
   = 48
Then
The length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
                                                 = 2(48) + 18
                                                 = 96 + 18
                                                 = 116
So the length of the second shelf is 116 cm.

please help :) Which sentence is true? A. 9.46 times 10 to the 12 power &gt; 4.0 times 10 to the 13 power B. 9.46 times 10 to th
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is simple because they use powers of 10. When something is multiplied by a power of ten, it is essentially moving the decimal point over for every power.

9.46x10^12= 9460000000000

4.0x10^13= 40000000000000

Although 4 itself is less than 9.46, since is is being multiplied by 10^13, it will be one decimal place bigger.

Can three segments with length 4 cm, 6cm, and 11 cm be assembled to form an acute triangle, a right triangle, or an obtuse trian
adoni [48]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Inequality Theorem, the sum of 2 side of a triangle must always be longer than the third one. 4 + 6 = 10 which is not larger than 11.

Which expressions are equivalent to 4^−2 ⋅7 ^-2?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

We can have several equivalents.

It can be 1/784,  28^(-2),  or  1/ (28^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4^(-2) * 7^(-2) =  (4*7)^(-2) = 28^(-2)

or  1 / (28^2)   is another equivalent.

4^(-2) * 7^(-2) = 28^(-2)

4^(-2) * 7^(-2) = = 1/784

A study of homeowners in the 5th congressional district in Maryland found that their annual household incomes are normally distr
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The minimum income level for this target group is of $51,253.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of $41,182 and a standard deviation of $11,990

This means that \mu = 41182, \sigma = 11990

Find the minimum income level for this target group.

The 100 - 20 = 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.8, so X when Z = 0.84.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.84 = \frac{X - 41182}{11990}

X - 41182 = 0.84*11990

X = 51253.6

The minimum income level for this target group is of $51,253.6.
