Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel= same gradient

y2-y1/x2-x1= gradient

M: 7-5/3.5-1

=2/2.5

=0.8

N: 10-7/7.5-4

=3/3.5

=0.86 (2DP)

no, the gradients are not the same, so therefore the lines m and n are not parallel.

Hope this helps:)

Jim's backyard is a rectangle that is 15 5/6 yards long and 10 2/5 yards wide. Jim buys sods in pieces that are 1 1/3 yards long

Ne4ueva [31]

We are given

Jim's backyard:

Length is

$L=15\frac{5}{6} =\frac{95}{6} yards$

width is

$W=10\frac{2}{5} =\frac{52}{5} yards$

Since, this is rectangle

so, we can find area of rectangle

$A=L*W$

$A=(\frac{95}{6})*(\frac{52}{5})$

$A=\frac{494}{3} yard^2$

Area of one sod:

length is

$l=1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} yards$

width is

$w=1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} yards$

Since, it is rectangle in shape

so,

$Area=l*w$

$A=\frac{4}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$A=\frac{16}{9}yard^2$

Number of pieces of sod:

we can use formula

Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)

$N=\frac{\frac{494}{3} }{\frac{16}{9} }$

now, we can simplify it

$N=\frac{741}{8}$ pieces need ..............Answer
