Answer:
shorter piece: 2 feet
longer piece: 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
let the shorter piece be x
then the longer piece will be 3x + 2
<u>if they join together</u>:
- 3x + 2 + x = 10
- 4x + 2 = 10
- 4x = 10 -2
- 4x = 8
- x = 2
<u>Longer piece</u>:
Answer:
74
Step-by-step explanation:
13 5-peso coins
9 1 peso coins
13 X 5 = 65
9 X 1 = 9
65+9 = 74
The area of a triangle can be calculated through the equation,
A = bh / 2
where A is area, b is base, and h is height.
Substituting the known values from the given above to the equation
A = (14 in)(6 in) / 2 = 42 in²
Since, there are five of these triangles, the total area is,
total area = 5(42 in²) = 210 in²
Thus, the total area of the plywood needed is 210 in².
Assuming your ratio of 5:2:3 is in cups, Jane should have a ratio of 10:4:6
Hope this helps.
