<h3>Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The lengths in feet of three pieces of timber are 48,72 and 40. The sawmill operator needs to cut the timber into logs of equal length with no waste.

The HCF of 48 , 72 and 40 is =8

Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.

A rectangle is 64 cm long 40 cm wide find is area and perimeter​
kow [346]

Answer:

Assuming the length to be x and the width to be y.

Since the area is 64cm, hence

x*y = 64 (equation 1)

Since the perimeter is 40cm, hence

x + x + y + y = 40

2x + 2y = 40

2(x + y) = 2(20)

x + y = 20 (equation 2)

Hence by using simultaneous equation,

x = 20 - y (equation 3)

Substituting equation 3 into equation 1, we get

(20-y)*y=64

20y-y^2=64

Tidying up the equation,

y^2 - 20y + 64 = 0

By using factorisation,

(y-16)(y-4)=0

y=16 or y=4

By substituting y=16 into equation 1,

x*16=64

x = 4

By substituting y = 4 into equation 1,

x*4=64

x=16

Therefore,

The length is 4 cm while the width is 16 cm.

OR

The length is 16 cm while the width is 4cm.

Hope this helps!!

Solve 12−5x−4kx=y for x.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

x = \frac{12-y}{4k+5}

Step-by-step explanation:

12-5x-4kx=y

1. Subtract 12 from both sides.

2.Distrubutive property (factor) a(b+c)=ab+ac

x(-5-4k)=y-12

  • Divide by -5-4k

x = \frac{y-12}{-5-4k}

= \frac{12-y}{4k+5}

If the legs of an isosceles right triangle have a length of 15 StartRoot 2 EndRoot ft, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

(15sqrt(2))² + (15sqrt(2))² = c²

225 * 2 + 225 * 2 = c²

c² = 900

c = sqrt(900)

c = 30

Answer: 30 ft
