I think you meant to add more to your question (posting the specific problem).
In general, one special right triangle is the <span>45°-45°-90° triangle, in which both legs are congruent and the hypotenuse = √2 * the length of the leg. if you happen to not have the length of the leg, the formula for finding the leg is: leg = hypotenuse / √2
Another special right triangle is the </span><span>30°-60°-90° triangle. With this kind of triangle the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the longer leg is √3 times the length of the shorter leg.
hypotenuse = 2 * shorter leg
longer leg = √3 * shorter leg</span>
Of means multiplication. So the question is 1/3 X 1 1/2. First make 1 1/2 improper: 3/2. Then multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominaters (bottom numbers): 1x3=3, 3x2=6, =3/6. Now simplify 3/6=1/2. Then multiply that by 2, since he used 2 pieces: 1/2x2=1. John used 1 meter :)
Answer: P = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
18 = 2(p+7)
18 = 2(2P+14)
-14 -14
4 = 2P
2=P
