Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used

Answer:

9600 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a puzzle contains a triangular piece with a base of 3 in. and a height of 4 in.

The would used for each triangular piece would be equal to area of triangle.

\frac{1}{2}\times 3\text{ in}\times 4\text{ in}=3\text{ in}\times 2\text{ in}=6\text{ in}^2

Each puzzle contains 20 triangular pieces, so wood used for each piece of puzzle would be 20 times 6 square inches.

\text{Wood used for each puzzle}=20\times 6\text{ in}^2

\text{Wood used for each puzzle}=120\text{ in}^2

\text{Wood used for 80 puzzles}=80\times 120\text{ in}^2

\text{Wood used for 80 puzzles}=9600\text{ in}^2

Therefore, 9600 square inches of wood is needed to make 80 puzzles.

If the track makes 30 miles in 25 minutes, find the time it will need to cover 25 miles
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

  • About 21 min

Explanation:

Distance and time are directly related, meaning that distance / time = constant.

In this case the constant is the rate or speed.

Thus you can write:

  • speed = distance / time

And, given that covering 30 miles requires 25 minutes, to calculate the time needed to cover 25 miles, you can set this proportion:

  • 30 miles / 25 min = 25 miles / t

To clear t you do cross multiplication:

  • t × 30 miles = 25 miles × 25 min

Divide both sides by 30 miles:

  • t = 25 miles × 25 min / 30 miles = 20.8 min ≈ 21 min ← answer

Find the domain and range of the function graphed in the picture.
algol [13]

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.

Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that x \le 4

To write this in interval notation, we would write (-\infty, 4] This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

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

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.

The range is the set of y values such that y \ge 0

In interval notation, it would be written as [0, \infty) This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity

note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity
