Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one of the boards = 8 feet

Converting to inches

1\ \text{foot}=12\ \text{inches}\\\Rightarrow 8\ \text{feet}=8\times 12=96\ \text{inches}

One cut is 16 inches

So, we divide the length of the board by 16

\dfrac{96}{16}=6

So, one board is cut into 6 pieces.

The other board is also 8 feet long.

So, the number of pieces the other board is cut into is also 6.

Hence, a total of 6+6=12 pieces of each 16 inches long can be cut from the two boards.

How do I solve this .... question in the image. <br><br>thank you​

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● x-20 = y+20 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

This is a system of simulataneous equations

Let's simplify the expressions first

● x -20 = y + 20 (1)

Add 20 to both sides

● x -20 + 20 = y+20 +20

● x = y + 40 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

● 2y - 44 = x +22

Substrat 22 from both sides

● 2y-44-22 = x+22-22

● 2y -66 = x (2)

This is the new system:

● x = y+40 (1)

● x = 2y-66 (2)

Substract (2) from (1)

● x-x = y+40-(2y-66)

● y+40-2y+66 = 0

● -y +106 = 0

● y = 106

Replace y with 106 in (1)

● x = y +40

● x = 106+40

● x = 146

So the solutions are (146,106)

In the 30-60-90 triangle below, side s has a length of _ and side q has a length of _.
gregori [183]

Answer: F

Step-by-step explanation:

For a 30-60-90 triangle, we know that the hypotenuse is 2x. Since we know the hypotenuse is 10, we can solve for x.

2x=10

x=5

Now that we know x is 5, we can use this to solve for s and q. The side across from 30° is just x. Since we know x, s is 5.

The side across from 60° is x√3. Since we know what x is, we can just plug in. q is 5√3.
