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.

A rectangular prism has a length of 12 centimeters, a width of 6 centimeters, and a height of 9 centimeters. A cross section is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

<h2>The perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have the intersection of a rectangular prism an a plane.

The dimensions of the rectangular plane are

l=12cm\\w=6cm\\h=9cm

Assuming the plane is cutting the prism horizontally, the cross section would have dimensions

w=6cm\\l=9cm

Because only the height would be cut.

So, the perimeter of the rectangle cross-section is

P_{cross}=2(l+w)=2(6+9)=2(15)=30cm

Therefore, the perimeter of the cross section is 30 centimeters.

What is the scale factor from L to S?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: While I don’t have the picture to actually know the answer I will explain how to get it.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the shapes are on a grid count the amount of grid squares that are located between each end point of the shape. If it’s not on a grid use a ruler to measure the side lengths. You will need to find out the side amounts for both shapes L and S.

2. From there if the L shape is SMALLER than the S shape, then take the S shape’s sides and divide it by the L shape’s sides, and whatever number you get from each of your division problems will be your scale factor. BUT If the L shape is BIGGER than the S shape then easiest way to find out your scale factor is to take the last scale factor you got and convert it into a fraction. For example, if you got 3 then it would be 1/3. Hope this helped!
