A section of a boardwalk is made using 15boards. Each board is 9/1/4 inches wide. The total width of the section is 144 inches.

The spacing between each board is equal. What is the width of the spacing between each board.

If there are 15 boards there are 14 gaps in-between. 
But first, 15 boards each 9 and 1/4th inches so you get  a total of 138 inches and 3/4th
If you subtract that from 144 you get 5 inches and 1/4th. The remaining amount is the total of all of the distance from the spacing.
Then you divide that by 14 (number of gaps/spacing in-between.)
So you get .375 inches. (3/8)
So width of the spacing between each board is 3/8ths of a inch

frosja888 [35]
Slope equals rise over run. Rise is referring to y values and run is referring to X values. so if they say tests are the Y axis then you use 27 as the rise and 36 as the run. once you have the fraction it is simply reducing the fraction.
27/36= 9/12 = 3/4

The base of a solid in the region bounded by the two parabolas y2 = 8x and x2 = 8y. Cross sections of the solid perpendicular to
Usimov [2.4K]

The two curves intersect at two points, (0, 0) and (8, 8):

x^2=8y\implies y=\dfrac{x^2}8

y^2=\dfrac{x^4}{64}=8x\implies\dfrac{x^4}{64}-8x=0\implies\dfrac{x(x-8)(x^2+8x+64)}{64}=0

\implies x=0,x=8\implies y=0,y=8

The area of a semicircle with diameter d is \dfrac{\pi d^2}8. The diameter of each cross-section is determined by the vertical distance between the two curves for any given value of x between 0 and 8. Over this interval, y^2=8x\implies y=\sqrt{8x} and \sqrt{8x}>\dfrac{x^2}8, so the volume of this solid is given by the integral

\displaystyle\frac\pi8\int_0^8\left(\sqrt{8x}-\dfrac{x^2}8\right)^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{288\pi}{35}

the curved surface of a cylindrical surface is 704 cm square calculate the height when the radius is 8cm​
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

CSA of cylinder = 704cm²

We know that

CSA of cylinder = 2πrh

or 2πrh = 704

or, 2*22/7 *8 *h = 704 ( since r=8cm)

or, 352h = 704*7

or, h = 4928/352 = 14cm

How to simplify this expression
dexar [7]

Answer:

  \dfrac{x+2}{x+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the numerator and cancel common factors from numerator and denominator.

  \dfrac{x^2-4}{(x-2)(x+1)}=\dfrac{(x-2)(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=\dfrac{x+2}{x+1}
