Answer: 53.34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the second piece of rope be x.

The first piece of rope is half as long as the second piece of rope. This will be: = x/2.

The third piece is three times as long as the second piece of rope. This will be: = 3 × x = 3x

Therefore,

x + 0.5x + 3x = 80

4.5x = 80

x = 80/4.5

x = 17.78 feet

The length of the longest piece of rope will be:

= 3 × x

= 3 × 17.78

= 53.34 feet

How find hight of a Triangle with base 14 yards

AysviL [449]

Answer: You can use any one altitude-base pair to find the area of the triangle, via formula A = (1/2) bh. In each of those diagrams, the triangle ABC is the same. The green line is the altitude, the height, and the side with the red perpendicular square on it is the base. All three sides of the triangle get a turn.

8) What are the measures of angles x, y, and z?

Grace [21]

Angles x, y, and z are 5s.

Angle x is a vertical angle to 5s, angles x and y are alternate interior angles so y is also 5s. And z is an alternate exterior angle to angle y.

I can't really figure out the number value of 5s with the given information.

Is the answer true or false?

stira [4]

Answer:

The answer to your question is False

Step-by-step explanation:

Original division

$\frac{3x^{3}+ 5x^{2}- 11}{2x + 1}$

Process

1.- To express a division in a synthetic form we must take the coefficients of the numerator. If there is no coefficient for a variable, we write it as 0.

3x³ + 5x² - 11 = 3 5 0 - 11

The "0" means 0x, this term is not present but we must consider it.

2.- Solve the denominator for x

2x + 1 = 0

2x = -1

x = -1/2

3.- Write the synthetic division

-1/2 3 5 0 -11
