-- The width of the school is ' W '.  We don't know what that is yet,
but we're going to find out.

-- We're told that the length is 4 times as much.  So the length is ' 4 W '.

-- Perimeter is (2 widths) + (2 lengths).

2 widths = 2 W
2 lengths = 8 W
Perimeter = 10 W

-- We're also told that the perimeter is 55m.  That's just what we need.

10 W = 55 m

Divide each side of this equation by 10:

W = 5.5 m

There's the width !
The length of the hall is 4 times as much.

Length = 4 W = 22 m

Three students need to produce a prime factorization of 48. Donna states that the first factors in the tree should be 6 and 8. L
Gennadij [26K]
If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.

If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.

The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.

Hope this helps! :)

Archimedes was asked by his king to figure out a way of telling if people were giving him fake gold objects. That was when Archi
klio [65]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Archimedes was able o obtain the actual volume of the supposedly gold made object by collecting the water displaced by the object as it was sunk on a bowl filled with water to the rim. Then knowing the volume displaced and therefore the volume of the object, he could find the object's density (mass over volume). The mass he could get just by weighting the object. and compare that with the density of any other object made of real gold (like for example a coin) and see if the quotient was the same. The density of both objects should be the same if they are made of the same material.
