Answer:

The first piece is 6 inches, the second piece is 24 inches, and the third piece is 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the second piece is 4 times longer than the first one, it will be represented by 4x.

The third piece is 5 times as long as the first one, so it will be represented by 5x.

Create an equation adding up the 3 x values up to 60:

x + 4x + 5x = 60

Add like terms and solve for x:

10x = 60

x = 6

So, the first piece is 6 inches.

Then, plug in 6 for x to find the lengths of the second and third pieces.

4x

4(6)

= 24

The second piece is 24 inches

5x

5(6)

= 30

The third piece is 30 inches

So, the first piece is 6 inches, the second piece is 24 inches, and the third piece is 30 inches

Leya [2.2K]

from what I know

A=4

B=3

C=2

and a plus adds 0.33 and a minus minuses 0.33

question wants us to find yearly average or average per 1 year

since these grades span over 2 years, we must divide the total average by 2

averagefresh=sum of fresh grades/4 grades per year

averagesoph=sum of soph grades/4 grades per year

yearlyaverage=(averagefresh+averagesoph)/2


freshman:

(C)+(B)+(A)+(C-)=2+3+4+(2-0.33)=10.67


sophomore:

(B+)+(A-)+(C+)+(B-)=(3+0.33)+(4-0.33)+(2+0.33)+(3-0.33)=12


averagefresh=10.67/4=2.6675

averagesoph=12/4=3

yearlyaverage=(2.6675+3)/2=2.83375

so it's about a B^{-} average

What side is the shortest in the picture?<br><br> A. GF<br> B. DG<br> C. EF<br> D. GE<br> F. DE
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A. GF

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest side in a triangle is opposite the smallest angle

<d = 180 -52 -61 =67

The smallest angle is 52 so the smallest side is DG

<f = 180 - 48-85 =50

The smallest angle is 48 so the smallest side is FG

The smallest angle is 48 so the smallest side overall is FG (GF)
