Answer:

The shorter side piece of fabric = x = 8 feet

The longer side piece of fabrics = (x + 2) = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Total yards of fabrics = 6 yards

you need to cut it in two pieces where one is two feet longer than the other.

First piece= x feet

Second piece= x+2 feet

Convert 6 yards to feet

6 yards = 18 feet

First piece + second piece = total piece of fabrics

x + (x+2) = 18

x + x + 2 = 18

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 18 - 2

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2

x = 16 / 2

x = 8 feet

8 feet = 2.66667 yards

x + 2

= 8 + 2

= 10 feet

10 feet = 3.33333 yards

The shorter side piece of fabric = x = 8 feet

The longer side piece of fabrics = (x + 2) = 10 feet

Answer:

Since we have a 30° - 60° - 90° triangle, we can calculate any side by knowing at least one out of three:

Since the length of the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, we have:

The length of the short leg is: 25/2 = 12.5

Since the length of the longer leg is equal to the length of the shorter leg

multiply by square root of 3 we have:

The length of the longer leg is: 12.5 × √3 ≈21.65

=> The perimeter of the triangle is: 25 + 12.5 + 21.65 = 59.15

Answer:

y = - x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-2=2}{2+2} = \frac{-4}{4} = - 1 , thus

y = - x ← equation of line

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3 . If there was 40 red cars , how many blue cars were there ?
Bas_tet [7]
The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
