Answer: 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4-foot by 8-foot rectangular piece of plywood will be cut into 4 congruent rectangles with no wood left over and no wood lost due to the cuts

Let assume that the 4 rectangles will be of the same area since they are congruent.

The area of the big rectangle will be

Area = 4 × 8 = 32

Divide 32 by 4

32/4 = 8

Suggest the two possible numbers in which their product will be equal to 8

4 and 2 or 8 and 1

If 4 and 2

The perimeter = 2L + 2B

Substitute the 4 and 2 into the formula

Perimeter = 2(4) + 2(2)

Perimeter = 8 + 4

Perimeter = 12

If 8 and 1

Perimeter = 2(8) + 2(1)

Perimeter = 16 + 2 = 18

The positive difference, in feet, between the greatest possible perimeter of a single piece and the least possible perimeter of a single piece will be:

18 - 12 = 6 feet

The Chang family is on their way home from a cross-country road trip. During the trip, the function D(t) = 2,280 - 60t can be us
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

c. t = 18; the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

D(t) = 2,280 - 60t

Find t when D(t) = 1,200

D(t) = 2,280 - 60t

1200 = 2280 - 60t

Subtract 2280 from both sides of the equation

1200 - 2,280 = 2280 - 60t - 2,280

- 1080 = - 60t

Divide both sides by -60

- 1080 / -60 = - 60t / -60

18 = t

t = 18

This means the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours

c. t = 18; the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours
