5/2 * 8 = 40/2 = 20 meters

Answer:

the length of the entire plank is less or equal to 20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

when the wooden plank is divided into 8 sections, the length of each section is 5/2 meters or less. Since we don't know exactly what is the length of every part, we just can calculate the maximum value of the wooden plank.

The maximum length of the entire plank is given by the next equation:

X maximum= (# sections)*(length maximum of every section)

X maximum= 8 * 5/2 meters

X maximum = 20 meters

This result says that X is less or equal to 20 meters.

What are the dimensions of the container holding a 1" x 1" x 1" cube
Allushta [10]
Each dimension has to be 1" or bigger, otherwise the cube won't fit. _________ WAIT ! The container doesn't have to be rectangular, and that opens up a lot more possibilities. The smallest possible rectangular container is a little tiny cardboard cube whose dimensions are all 1", just like the contents. But you could also keep it in a container shaped like a pyramid, a cylinder, an egg, etc. If the container is a sphere, then its radius has to be at least 0.866 inch.

Write the Equation of the line in slope intercept form<br> (0, -3), (7.5,0)
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, start off by solving for the slope using this formula:

\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

Then, plug in the values: \frac{0-(-3)}{7.5-0}

Solve the equation: \frac{3}{7.5}

That's your slope.

Then plug in one of the coordinates given in the problem for x and y and solve this equation:

y=\frac{3}{7.5}x+b

Hope that helped!!! :)

ser-zykov [4K]

a) 20(x)=y

b) $120

Let x= number of hours

Let y= Cost of labor

20 will remain constant, what matters is how many hours are being worked. If it's $20 per hour then it's safe to assume 1 hour is 20 dollars worth of labor. Due to it being per hour you have to multiply the rate by however many hours worked to get your final cost.

line 1 passes through (2,2) and (5,5). line 2 passes through (3,-6) and (-5,2). Are the lines parallel or perpendicular?
Gelneren [198K]
Find the slope of the first line, that is the difference of the y’s over the difference of the x’s. This way: 2-5/2-5=-3/-3 which equals 1
Now find the slope of the second line 2-(-6)/-5-3
=8/-8
=-1
The slopes are opposite reciprocal ( you could also say that the product of the 2 slopes equals -1) therefore the lines are perpendicular.
