Answer:
3.75 im really sorry if this is wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
If I did my math correctly, I'm pretty sure the answer is 3 1/36 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, you have to turn them all into an improper fraction.
1 7/18 becomes 25/18
1 2/9 becomes 11/9
5/12 remains the same as it's already an improper fraction.
2. Find a common denominator, which is 36
25/18 becomes 50/36
11/9 becomes 44/36
5/12 becomes 15/36
3. Add them all together and you get 109/36
4. Turn it into a mixed number, and in this case, is 3 1/36
Solution is 3 1/36
It looks like you are good up to problem 4 so I will start there. I believe this is practice worksheet featuring the pyth. theorem. The pyth. theorem is used to find the length of sides in a right triangle notable the hypotenuse (side opposite of 90 degree angle).
4. The monitor is a rectangle but that does not stop you from constructing a right triangle. The smaller lengths are 16 in and 12 in respectively. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the diagonal of the rectangle. To find the length use the pyth. theorem.
diagonal^2 = 16^2+12^2
diagonal = 20 in
7. You know the speeds of both trains and the time spend traveling. You know they are traveling at a 90 degree angle so you can use pyth. theorem. But wait... you need to find the distances traveled for both trains. You can find that though because speed x time = distance.
50mph x 3hrs = 150mi
40mph x 3hrs = 120mi
The distance between the trains after 3 hours is the hypotenuse which can be determined by pyth. theorem.
distance^2 = 150^2+120^2
distance = 192 mi approx.
8. First find length of one piece of wiring. Use pyth theorem. Actually 3,4,5 pyth. triplet in which 5 is the hypotenuse. So you have 5 ft for the length of one piece of wiring. How many pieces of wiring do you need? Well, each tree needs 3 pieces and there are 6 trees so you need 18 pieces.
18 x 5 = 90 ft of wiring
From the work I see, you have a great understanding of the pyth. theorem. Keep it up!
