Answer:

i. No, Maurice statement is wrong.

ii. Stephan does not have sufficient pieces of wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan's piece of wood measures; 18 inches in length and 12 inches in width.

Since the piece of wood has a shape of a rectangle,

the area of the piece of wood = length × width

= 18 × 12

= 216 square inches

According to Maurice's statement, he could make a tray that has a base of 1012 inches by 1012 inches.

The base has the shape of a square, so that;

the area of the base = length × width = $length^{2}$

= 1012 ×1012

= 1024144 squared inches

This shows that Stephan does not have sufficient wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.

Tanzania [10]

$\dfrac{3x+6}{x^2-x-6} + \dfrac{2x}{x^2+x-12}$

$= \dfrac{3(x+2)}{(x + 2)(x - 3)} + \dfrac{2x}{ (x - 3)(x + 4)}$

$= \dfrac{3}{(x - 3)} + \dfrac{2x}{ (x -3)(x + 4)}$

$= \dfrac{3(x+4)}{(x - 3)(x + 4)} + \dfrac{2x}{ (x -3 )(x + 4)}$

$= \dfrac{3(x+4) + 2x }{(x - 3)(x + 4)}$

$= \dfrac{3x+12 + 2x }{(x - 3)(x + 4)}$

$= \dfrac{5x+12}{(x - 3)(x + 4)}$

The area of Sahara desert is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert. If the sum of their areas is 4,000,000 square miles, find the

ryzh [129]

X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).

Answer:

None of the numbers are Perfect Square.

Step-by-step explanation:

6, 10, 12, and 14 are not <u>Perfect Square</u>, because each number are multiplied by two different numbers:

$6 = 3 \times 2$

$10 = 5\times 2$

$12 = 6\times 2$
