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.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (0,7) and (5,-3). <br>​
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 3 )

m = \frac{-3-7}{5-0} = \frac{-10}{5} = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 7 ) ⇒ c = 7

y = - 2x + 7 ← equation of line
