Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet
2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3 12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4 The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.
3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3 P= 31 5/6 feet
4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.
5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.
5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7 You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
For three visits, the electrician earned $40 × 3 = $120 in "per-visit" charges. For working x hours, he earned 20x in "per-hour" charges. The total of these came to 50x:
120 +20x = 50x
120 = 30x . . . . . . . . subtract 20x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 30
The electrician worked 4 hours that day.
In centre is the centre of a circle that is inscribed in a triangle, called the incircle, i.e. circle is tangent to all three sides AND located inside the triangle. An incircle is roughly sketched in the accompanying diagram.
Since all radii of an incircle are equal, we have
4x-1=6x-5
Solving for x,
6x-4x=5-1
x=2
consequently, distance from incentre to each side of the triangle is
4(2)-1=7
check 6x-5=6(2)-5=7... checks.
Answers:
The value of x = 2
The distance from incentre to side of triangle is 7
