Answer:

Asa forgot to floss for 106 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will start by writing out the details we are given clearly.

Length of floss used per day = 18 inches

Original length of floss bought for use = 50 ft = 600 inches

Number of days between March 17th and August 2nd = 138 days

Length of floss left after August 2nd = 2 feet = 24 inches

From this, we can clearly calculate the length of floss used.

This will be original floss length - length of floss remaining = 600 - 24 = 576 inches

Length of floss used = 576 inches

If Asa used 18 inches per day, we can find the number of days he flossed by  dividing the length used in total by the length used per day.

That will be 576/18 = 32 days

if Asa flossed for only 32 days, the number of days he didn't floss is 138 - 32 =106 days

Hence, Asa didn't floss for 106 days.

 Use the given information to find the value of x. Then, find the measure of angle ADC.
skad [1K]

Answer:

60degrees

Step-by-step explanation

To get the angle x, you must first know that the sum of angle at a point is 360degrees. Hence;

x + <ADB + <CDB  = 360

x +150 + 150 = 360

x+ 300 = 360

x = 360 - 300

x = 60

Hence the value of x is 60degrees

The area of a field shaped like a right triangle is 750yd^2.One leg of the field is fenced with wood costing $5/yd. the remainde
Elenna [48]
Assume that
 a and b = the two legs of the right triangle. 
 c =  the hypotenuse.

The area of the right triangle is 750 yd², therefore
(1/2)*a*b = 750
ab = 1500               (1)

The perimeter is 150yd, therefore
a + b + c = 150         (2)

Let the side fenced with wood be a, at $5/yd.  Sides b and c are fenced with steel at $10/y. The total cost is $1200, therefore
 5a + 10b + 10c = 1200            
or
a + 2b + 2c = 240         (3)

From (2), obtain 
c = 150 - a - b              (4)

Substitute (4) into (3)
a + 2b + 2(150 - a - b) = 240
-a + 300 = 240
a = 60

From (1), obtain
60b = 1500
b = 25

From (4), obtain
c = 150 - 60 - 25 = 65

Answer:
A. The length of the leg fenced with wood is 60 yd.
B.  The length of the leg fenced with steel is 25 yd.
