Answer: There are 5 red pencils, 16 blue pencils and 23 brown pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of red pencils = 5
Number of blue pencils are 11 more than red pencils.
So, Number of blue pencils would be
Number of brown pencils are 7 more than blue pencils.
So, number of brown pencils would be
Hence, there are 5 red pencils, 16 blue pencils and 23 brown pencils.
Angle A = 3x - 10
Angle B = x
Their angle sum = 90° ( complementary angles form 90° )
This can be written in an equation as =
= 3x - 10 + x = 90
= 3x + × + ( -10 ) = 90
= 4x + (-10) = 90
= 4x = 90 + 10 ( transposing-10 from LHS to RHS changes-10 to +10 )
= 4x = 100
= x = 100 ÷ 4 ( transposing ×4 from LHS to RHS changes ×4 to ÷4 )
= x = 25
Angle A = 3x - 10
= 3 × 25 - 10
= 75 - 10
= Angle A = 65°
Angle B = x = 25°
Their sum = 65 + 25 = 90°
Therefore , the complementary angles , Angle A = 65° and Angle B = 25° .
Since the problem said he uses 160 feet of fence, you know that is the perimeter
P = 2l + 2w
You know that one of the dimensions is 50, so you can plug that into the equation
160 = 2 x 50 + 2w
160 = 100 + 2w
2w = 60
w = 30
The area is equal to l x w
50 x 30 = 1500 square feet
Answer:
4.4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the value of x.
Mathematically, a line that comes from the center of the circle and extends to a chord, divides the chord into two equal parts.
This means what we have is a right angled triangle with the radius being the hypotenuse, the half of the length of the chord as the other side of the triangle.
3.7 is half the length of the chord i.e 7.4/2
Thus;
using Pythagoras’ theorem
x^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.7^2
Pythagoras’ posited that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the triangle.
Thus;
x^2 =5.76 + 13.69
x^2 = 19.45
x = √(19.45)
x = 4.41 inches which is 4.4 inches to the nearest tenth
