Step-by-step explanation:

A=s*s

A=s^2

52=s^2

s=√52

s=7.2 one side of the square

s*4 to get the four sides

7.2*4=28.8 cm length of the first piece

40-28.8=11.2cm length of the second piece

Answer:

24 cm and 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumed that the length of one of the wire is x cm and the other is y cm.

Given that the length of the wire = 40 cm long:

x + y = 40

x = 40 - y

Given that their total area is 52 cm²:

(x/4)² + (y/4)² = 52

x²/16 + y²/16 = 52

x² + y² = 832

Substitute x = 40 - y into x² + y² = 832:

(40- y)²  + y² =  832

40² - 2(40)(y) + y²  + y²  = 832

1600 - 80y + 2y²  = 832

2y²  - 80y + 768 = 0

y²  - 40y + 384 = 0

(y - 16) (y - 24) = 0

y = 16 or y = 24

if y = 16,

x = 40 - 16

x =  24

The length of one of the pieces is 24 cm and the other is 16 cm

The first angle of a triangle is 10 degrees less than the second angle. The third angle of a triangle is two times the second an
Orlov [11]
Hi there!
Let the second angle be represented by x. Now, just use the given information to write expressions for each angle.
Angle 1:
The question says that it is 10 degrees less than the second angle. Therefore, it can be represented by the expression x - 10.
Angle 2:
Represented by x.
Angle 3:
As said in the question, the third angle is 2 times the second angle. This gives us the expression 2 × x, giving us 2x.
Now, take all the expressions and add them up and make them equal to 180 degrees, according to the Triangle Sum Theorem.
x + 2x + x - 10 = 180
4x - 10 = 180
4x = 190
/4     /4
x = 47.5
Therefore, the angle measures are 47.5 degrees, 2(47.5) = 95, and 47.5 - 10 = 37.5 degrees. Hope this helped!

You are certain to get a black or a red card when selecting cards from a shuffled deck. Express the indicated degree of likeliho
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck has a combined 52cards.

Given that you're certain to select a red or black card:-

p(red)=>p(red)=\frac{26}{52}

p(black)=>p(black)=\frac{26}{52}

Therefore total probability of selection is expressed as:-

p=p(red)+p(black)\\p=\frac{26}{52}+\frac{26}{52}\\=1
