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.

If each stack of coins has the same height, which stack of coins has the greatest volume? A) the uniform stack B) the irregular
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is D.

They both have the same height, assuming that each coin has same volume, then how can coins in 1 stack have different volume than coins in another stack no matter how you stack them.

Like two cylinders with same base area and height have same volume. Like wise rectangle and parallelogram with same base and same perpendicular height having same area....

Can you help me find the answer and explain it to me?
Mashutka [201]
To find the area of a RIGHT ANGLE triangle, you do base x height then divide it by two.

(we divide by two because a parallelogram can be split into two triangles so we’re basically finding the area of that triangle twice to make an imaginary parallelogram then halving it to get the area of just the triangle).

because you didn’t attach a photo, im not entirely sure which length you gave is the height and base but because a rule for right angle triangles is that the longest length (called the hypotenuse) is always opposite the angle so we’re gonna assume that 32. 5cm is the hypotenuse for this triangle.

this means that 31.2cm and 9.1cm are our base and height length (interchangeable).

so we do
— 31.2 x 9.1 = 283.92
— 283.92 / 2 = 141.96cm squared (because it’s an area!)

hope this helped~ :)

Given that

Answer:

-2                                        

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

if we evaluate the expression it will look like :

3x + 14 = 8

and if we solve it:

3x+14=8

Step 1: Subtract 14 from both sides.

3x+14−14=8−14

3x=−6

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = -6/3

x= −2
