A piece of string is 42 meters long. It is cut into three pieces so that one piece is 15 meters longer than the other two, which

are both the same length. Find the length of each piece of string.

To start this problem, we know that one of the three pieces that the string is cut into is 15 meters longer than the others. Subtract 15 from 42 to get 27.
Then, from there, you can cut that number (<em>divide</em>) by three to get the length of the two shorter strings. Simply add the 15 meters you didn't use yet to one of the pieces to find the longer string, and you have your lengths.

Hope this helps!

PLS HURRY Point S is translated 5 units to the left and 12 units up to create point S'. Find the distance between point S and po
svet-max [94.6K]

Given:

Point S is translated 5 units to the left and 12 units up to create point S'.

To find:

The distance between the points S and S'.

Solution:

Point S is translated 5 units to the left and 12 units up to create point S'.

The diagram for the given problem is shown below.

From the below figure it is clear that the distance between the point S and S' is the height of a right triangle whose legs are 5 units and 12 units.

By Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2

SS'^2=(12)^2+(5)^2

SS'^2=144+25

SS'^2=169

Taking square root on both sides.

SS'=\sqrt{169}

SS'=13

Therefore, the distance between S and S' is 13 units.

A family gathered 20 small sea shells from the beach brining the total number of small seashells in their collection to 41.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

C, x + 20 = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

X represents the number of small sea shells that we originally had. When the family adds 20 more shells, that makes x + 20. The total number is 41, so that means the number of sea shells they already had (x) plus the number of sea shells they collected (20) equals the number of shells they have now (41).
