The dimensions would be 28.9 for the steel length and 28.8 for the pine boards, for a total cost of $403.40.

To maximize area and minimize perimeter, you want a figure that is as close to equilateral as you can get.  Therefore we take the square root of our area:

√833 = 28.9.

Dividing 833/28.9 we get 28.8.

We want to use the shorter side, 28.8, for the pine boards, as they cost more.  28.8*2*6 = 345.60.

The cost of the steel side is given by 28.9*2 = 57.80.

Together it costs 345.60+57.80 = 403.40.

Explain how you can use base ten blocks to find 1.54+ 2.37

*First column to your left - ones column (1)
*Column just after decimal place, in the middle - tenths column (1/10)
*Column to the far right - hundredths column (1/100)

The only numbers that can go in these columns are 0-9.

-------------

1.54 + 2.37 

= (1 + 5/10 + 4/100) + (2 + 3/10 + 7/100)

= 1 + 5/10 + 4/100 + 2 + 3/10 + 7/100

= 3 + 8/10 + 11/100

= 3 + 8/10 + (10/100 + 1/100)

= 3 + 8/10 + (1/10 + 1/100)

= 3 + 8/10 + 1/10 + 1/100

= 3 + 9/10 + 1/100

= 3.91

Simplify 3(7t-5) - 2t = 4​
Inga [223]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(7t - 5) - 2t = 4

3*7t - 3*5 - 2t = 4

21t  - 15   - 2t = 4          {combine like terms}

21t - 2t - 15     = 4

         19t - 15 = 4          {Add  15 to both sides}

            19t    = 4 + 15

            19t     = 19    {Divide both sides by 19}

                   t = 19/19

t = 1
