F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x

T=length of third piece=3x

.

F+S+T=24 inches

x+2x+3x=24 inches

6x=24in

F=x=4in

ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.

.

S=2x=2(4in)=8in

ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.

.

T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.

ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.

.

CHECK:

F+S+T=24in

4in+8in+12in=24in

24in=24in

Answer:

3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you would first find the area of the square which is 16. Then you would find the area of the 2 semicircle or just on whole circle. We are just going to use the formula for a whole circle since there are 2 semicircles. The formula to find a circle is pi times r^2 so we are going to put that into a calculator so we would do pi times 2 (radius of circle)^2 which is 12.57 and we would subtract 16 by 12.57 which is 3.43

Points P and Q belong to segment AB . If AB = a, AP = 2PQ = 2QB, find the distance: between the midpoints of segments AP and QB
amid [387]

Answer:

\frac{a}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = a

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

AB = AP + PQ + QB

     = AP + \frac{AP}{2} + \frac{AP}{2}

AB = 2AP

AP = \frac{a}{2} -----(1)

And we know QB = \frac{AP}{2}

QB= AP/2 = \frac{a}{4} ---------(2)

Now midpoint of AP = \frac{a}{2} × \frac{1}{2} = \frac{a}{4}

and midpoint of QB = \frac{a}{4} × \frac{1}{2} = \frac{a}{8}

distance between these midpoints = \frac{a}{4} - \frac{a}{8}

= \frac{a}{8}
