1) 112 m

Answer:

2) 240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of pieces be 5x, 3x and 7x m.

Where 3x is the shortest piece and 7x is the longest piece.

According to the given condition:

7x - 3x = 64

4x = 64

x = 64/4

x = 16 m

1) Length of longest piece = 7x = 7* 16 = 112 m

2) length of the Electrical cord in meters before it was cut = 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x = 15*16 =240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the pieces 5x, 3x, and 7x respectively. The longest (7x) and shortest (3x) pieces had a difference of 64 cm. Therefore, 7x - 3x = 64 → 4x = 64 → x = 16 cm. We know that the longest piece is 7x, so its length is 7 * 16 = 112 cm. As for the total length of the cord, we can express it as 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x, which is 15 * 16 = 240 cm. Hope this helps!

What is the surface area of a circle that has a diameter of 14 inches
Anna007 [38]
The area of any circle is        (pi) · (radius)² .

The radius is 1/2 of the diameter.

For your circle, the radius is 1/2 of 14 inches  =  7 inches,
and the area is

                            (pi) · (7 inches)²

                         = (pi) · (49 square inches)

                         =      153.9 square inches  (rounded)

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Kindly check attached picture for sample space design

45 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of qualified candidates to be chosen = 2

Number of candidates to be interviewed = 10

Combination formula :

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

10C2 = 10! ÷ (10 - 2)!2!

10C2 = 10*9 / 2 * 1

10C2 = 90/2

10C2 = 45 different samples

Our sample space will contain 45 different samples
