Answer:

a) 16 cm, b) 37 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Finding the largest divisor of 160, 192 and 240

160 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 32, 40, 80 and 160.

// You can alternatively find them by factor pairs, which are (1, 160), (2, 80), (4, 40), (5, 32), (8, 20) & (10, 16). This way is much more faster. Also, you can simply search them in metanumbers.com

192 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96 and 192

240 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120 and 240

The largest divider that they all have in common is 16.

So 16 cm is the largest possible length of each of the shorter pieces of

rope

Part b

Now we have to count how many 16 cm pieces of rope can we get from the large rope pieces, which lengths are 160 cm, 192 cm and 240 cm

160/16 + 192/16 + 240/16 = 10 + 12 + 15 = 37

The answer is 37 pieces

What is the cosecant of angle C?

pishuonlain [190]

Cosecant = hypotenuse / opposite side ( that is 1 / sine)
csc C = AC / 8

AC = sqrt (6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt 100 = 10

so cosecant of C is 10/8 = 1.25

Equation for ( 6, 13) ( 7900, 5 )

tia_tia [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y=mx+b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following points through which the line passes:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 6,13)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (7900,5)$

We find the slope of the line:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {5-13} {7900-6} = \frac {-8} {7894} = - \frac {4} {3947}$

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

$y = - \frac {4} {3947} x + b$

We substitute one of the points and find b:

$13 = - \frac {4} {3947} (6) + b\\13 = - \frac {24} {3947} + b\\13+ \frac {24} {3947} = b\\b = \frac {51335} {3947}$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = - \frac {4} {3947} x + \frac {51335} {3947}$

Answer:

$y = - \frac {4} {3947} x + \frac {51335} {3947}$

BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT PLEASE DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNOW OR REPORTED 50 POINTS I NEED MY GRADES TO BE BETTER

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

B.166 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To handle this problem better, we can separate the fraction and integer portions to look at the whole situation better.

First, let's only look at the integers. Anthony flew up his drone 125 feet (translating to +125), allowed it to drop 14 feet (translating to -14), and then flew it up for 55 feet (translating to +55). Hence, only considering the integers, the total change in the drone's position would be (125 - 14 + 55) feet, which equates to 166 feet.

You'd probably have already noticed this answer is quite close to B. 166 11/12 feet, but let's keep on going for now.

On the fraction part, he flew his drone up 1/2 feet, allowed it to drop 1/3 feet, and then flew it up for 3/4 feet, translating to (1/2 - 1/3 + 3/4) feet.

Hence, after making all fractions share the same denominator, that same equation would change to (6/12 - 4/12 + 9/12) feet, which equals to 11/12 feet.

Finally, the total magnitude of the drone's position would be (166 + 11/12) feet, which is equal to B.166 11/12 feet.

Hope this helped!
