D. 6 steps forward and 6 steps backward. 6=6
-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.
-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.
With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible.
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be
(13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .
= (13-ft) x (3-ft)
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 13-ft) + (2 x 3-ft)
= (26-ft) + (6-ft) = 32 feet <== shortest perimeter.
-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area. That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.
The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .
= (39-ft) x (1-ft) .
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 39-ft) + (2 x 1-ft)
= (78-ft) + (2-ft) = 80 feet .
What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.
Answer:
First, I would check and see if she was correct. If she wasnt, I would simply show her why she was incorrect. If I was to accidently short her, I would give her the money and move on with my day. if she refused to leave after showing her that I gave her the correct amount of money, she would probably call for the manager. I'd get the manager, explain what happened, and the annoying customer would most likely get kicked out of the store.
(P.S: sorry if it was a little confusing lol)
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
you x 8x5
since ten isn't to the power of anything it would be just 96
