The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square is given by:

Perimeter = 4 * side

Let x be the original length of each side of square

So

decreasing 2 inch will mean

x-2

Perimeter of square after reducing 2 inches from each side

4(x-2) = 49\\4x-8 = 49\\4x = 49+8\\4x = 57\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{57}{4}\\x = 14.25

So,

The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

We know that

<span>the rotation of a solid does not modify the values of the internal angles of the solid
</span>therefore
interior angle after 90° rotation=interior angle before 90° rotation
interior angle after 90° rotation=108°

the answer is the option D 108 °

-4(5k-7) +2k= -2(9k+5)
Blababa [14]

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(5k-7) +2k= -2(9k+5)

Distribute

-20k +28 +2k = -18k -10

Combine like terms

-18k +28 = -18k -10

Add 18k to each side

-18k+18k +28 = -18k+18k  -10

28 = -10

This is never true so there are no solutions

Two jets simultaneously started traveling in opposite directions from the same airport. Four hours later they were 3800 miles ap
Basile [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slower plane traveled x miles in 4 hours.

the faster plane traveled x + 4×80 = x + 320 miles in 4 hours.

so,

x + x + 320 = 3800 miles

2x =3480 miles

x =1740 miles (in 4 hours) .

that means the slower plane's speed was 435 mph.

and the faster plane's speed was 435 + 80 = 515 mph.

How many blocks with dimensions of One-third times 1 times 1 can fit in a unit cube?
lord [1]

Given:

Dimensions of a block are \dfrac{1}{3}\times 1\times 1.

To find:

The number of block that can be fit in a unit cube.

Solution:

Volume of a cuboid is:

V=l\times b\times h

Where, l is length, b is breadth or width and h is the height of the cuboid.

So, the volume of the given block is:

V_1=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1\times 1

V_1=\dfrac{1}{3}

Dimensions of a unit cube are 1\times 1\times 1. So, the volume of the unit cube is:

V_2=1\times 1\times 1

V_2=1

We need to divide the volume of unit cube by the volume of a block to find the number of block that can be fit in a unit cube.

So, the number of blocks that fit in a unit cube is:

n=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

n=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{3}}

n=3

Therefore, the correct option is B.
