Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.

The longer piece is 32 cm.

We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.

Let the length of the smaller piece be x.

3 is to 4 as x is to 32

3/4 = x/32

4x = 3 * 32

4x = 96

x = 24

The smaller piece is 24 cm.

24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm

Answer: 56 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the other value in a ratio by dividing the value given by its corresponding value in the ratio, then multiplying the quotient by the other value in the ratio.

32 is the longer piece, and 4 is longer than 3.

32 / 4 = 8.

8 * 3 = 24

The shorter piece is 24 centimeters long.

The total length of the coil is 24 + 32, or 56 centimeters long.

Answer:

\sum^{\infty}_0 {(-3)^n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the series: 1 - 3 + 9 - 27 +... clearly has powers of the factor 3 in its terms and it is also an alternate series (the terms alternate from positive to negative). The terms are positive for a_0, a_2, a_4, ... (even terms) , while the odd terms a_1, a_3, a_5, ... are negative. (so most likely there should be a factor   (-1) in the common ratio.

We can then represent it with the following summation expression:

\sum^{\infty}_0 {(-3)^n} given that each of its first four terms are:

a_0=(-3)^0=1\\a_1=(-3)^1=-3\\a_2=(-3)^2=(-3)*(-3)=9\\a_3=(-3)^3=(-3)*(-3)*(-3)=-27

Find the mode(s) for the given sample data. The lengths (in inches) of each snake in the Clarmont Zoo's reptile house are shown
Contact [7]

The correct option is :   no mode

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The given data set is:  9, 15, 86, 13, 16, 101, 85, 10, 14, 17, 102

The <u>mode is the number that is repeated more often</u> than any other number in the data set.

But here we can see that all the numbers in this data set are different. That means <u>they appear only once</u>.

So, there will be 'no mode' in this set.

Find the area of the triangle on the grid below.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

31.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½*base*height

Height of the triangle on the grid = 9 units

Base = 7 units

Area = ½*9*7

Area = ½*63

Area = 63/2

Area = 31.5 units²
