Answer:

The shorter piece is <u>37</u> inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x and the longer piece be 5x.

Short piece + Long piece = 222 inches

x + 5x = 222

6x = 222

x = 222 ÷ 6

x = 37

These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.

There are three right triangles.

From the big right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = 25^2

From the small right triangle on the left side:


(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2

From the small right triangle on the right side

x^2 +10^2 = b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0

Use the quadratic formular to find the roots:

x = 2.1 and x = 47.9

Distance from back: 25 - 2.1 = 22.9 ft

Answer: 22.9 ft

If you want to convert 232323 to a fraction will you multiply by 10or 100​
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

it would actually be the opposite because if u multiply ur making the number higher, it can be a fraction but it would be 23/1 and thats a whole number u would need to divide by 100 and 100 bc if 10 u get 2 3/10 and if u divide by 100 u get 23/100 either way u get a fraction but if u divide by 10 u get a mixed fraction. If u just want a fraction u would have to divide from 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine whether the congruence is true or false.<br> 12 ≡ 10 mod 5
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The given congruence is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression 12 \equiv 10 \mod 5

To find : Determine whether the congruence is true or false ?

Solution :

The congruence is in the form x\mod y\equiv r

where, x is the dividend

y is divisor

r is the remainder

So, We find  10 \mod 5

We know, 10 is completely divide by 5 and we get quotient is 2 and remainder is 0.

10 \mod 5=0

As 0\neq 12

Therefore, The given congruence is false.
