Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon!
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What the problem asks for:</u>
⇒ to rationalize the denominator
⇒ rationalize means that you multiply the numerator and
demonimator by the denominator
<u>Let's put that into action</u>:
<== <u>Answer</u>
<u></u>
Hopefully that helps!
To solve for the width simply multiply the two numbers:
width of sidewalk = 12 * (3 7/8)
Where 3 7/8 = 31/8
so calculating,
width of sidewalk = 12 * (31 / 8)
<span>width of sidewalk = 46.5 inches</span>
Answer:
Perimeter = 34ft Area = 72ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of an object is all of it's sides combined. Because you stated two values, I assumed your shape is a rectangle. So the perimeter would be:
8 + 8 + 9 + 9 = 34
The area is length times width, so:
8 x 9 = 72
Because it is area, the units are squared.
Answer:
a1 = 2
d = 3
an = 2 + (n - 1) * 3
a7 = 20
a59 = 176
Steps:
a1 is the initial value (when n equals 1), and since there are 2 crosses, it is 2.
d is the added value to each amount of crosses. And since the second amount is 5 and the third amount is 8, we can determine that each n is adding 3 crosses, therefore making d = 3.
The equation is simply plugging in the values for a1 and d.
A7 is simply plugging in 7 for n in the equation and solving for it. So;
a7 = 2 + (7 - 1) * 3
a7 = 2 + 6 * 3
a7 = 2 + 18
a7 = 20
And same thing as the last for 59 except substitute 59 in for where you put 7;
a59 = 2 + (59 - 1) * 3
a59 = 2 + 58 * 3
a59 = 2 + 174
a59 = 176
