Well the square root of a number is a number times its self equaling the number you're getting the square root of. For example:
<span>√ 25
</span>
To get sqrt of 25 we need to find a number times its self that equals 25. Lets try 8.
8 x 8 = 64
Well thats much too high, We'll try a lower number.
4 x 4 = 16
Just a little higher.
5 x 5 = 25
Since 5 times itself equals 25 that makes it the sqrt.
So, the √ 25 is 5.
If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
It is NOT a RIGHT triangle so you <u>cannot use</u> 1/2 b * h
but you can use Heron's Formula
Area = sqrt( s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )
s = semi- perimeter = (3+6+7)/2 = 8
Area = sqrt ( 8 ( 8-3)(8-6)(8-7) ) = sqrt ( 80) = 8.9 cm^2
Answer:
1x
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is length times width. Because there isnt a value for x, the area is just 1x. Let me know in the comments if it was right!
