<span>So we want to know the difference between a= 126 1/4 and b= 78 2/3. Lets turn them into a fraction: a = 124*4 + 1/4 = 496/4 + 1/4 = 495/4. b= 78*3 + 2/3 = 234/3 + 2/3 = 236/3. Now we find the common denominator of a and b: and that is 12. so lets multiply a by 3/3 and b by 4/4: (495/4)*(3/3)=1485/12. (236/3)*(4/4)=944/12. Now the difference is: 1485/12 - 944/12=541/12 and that is: 45 1/12 </span>

Solving a right triangle (ROUND TO THE NEAREST TENTH)

Kay [80]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 for B

B = 180° - (90 + 40)° = 180° - 130° = 150°

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

sin40° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{a}{21}$

Multiply both sides by 21

21 × sin40° = a, thus

a ≈ 13.5 ( to the nearest tenth )

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

cos40° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{b}{21}$

Multiply both sides by 21

21 × cos40° = b, thus

b ≈ 16.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

Which expression is equivalent to 16^3?

Rzqust [24]

I think the answer is 2^12

because ...

16^3 is equal to 4,096

and 2^12 is also equal to 4,096

Can you guys help please im so confused

Answer:

a) see below

b) 40x20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down what you know:

- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so

$A = x \cdot y$

- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so

$2y + x = 80$

Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.

First rewrite the second as:

$y = 40 - \frac12 x$

Then substitute for y in the first:

$A = x (40 - \frac12 x) = 40x - \frac12x^2$

b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:

$A'(x) = 40 - x = 0 \implies x=40$

So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.
