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.

Jill, an employee at Old Navy, budgets 18 of her yearly salary for clothing. Jill's total clothing bill for the year is $8,180.
Triss [41]

Answer: $ 45,444.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jill budgets 18% of her yearly salary for clothing.

His total clothing bill for the year is $8,180.

Let x=  her yearly salary

Then according to the question , we have

18% of x = 8180

Convert 18% into decimal by dividing it by 100 , we get

0.18 x= 8180

Multiply both sides by 100

⇒ 18x = 818000

Divide both sides by 18 , we get

x= 45444.44

Hence, her yearly salary = $ 45,444.44

60 pts!!! HELP Find the inverse of the function f(x)= 4/9 x-4<br> show work
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Inverse Function: f^-1(x) = 9/4x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find  the inverse function we can interchange the position of the variables x and y, and then solve for y;

y = 4/9x - 4 => x = 4/9y - 4,

x = 4/9y - 4,

4/9y = x + 4,

y = 9/4x + 9/4(4),

y = 9/4x + 9/ f^-1(x) = 9/4x + 9
