Answer:

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board = 48 in

It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length

This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces

Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.

Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in

= (3*3)/16

= 9/16 in

Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste

= 48 - 9/16

= (768-9)/16

= 759/16 in

How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4

= 759/16 ÷ 4

= 759/16 × 1/4

= 759/64

= 11.859375

Approximately 12 pieces to the nearest whole number

Which of these triangles appears not to be congruent to any others shown
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Options (B) and (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles have the same size and shape they are said to be congruent triangles.

Triangles given in the attachment,

Triangles A and E appear to be congruent.

And triangles C and F appear to be congruent.

[Since corresponding sides of these triangles don't appear to be the same in measure]

Remaining triangles B and D do not appear to be congruent.

Therefore, Options (B) and (D) will be the answer.
