Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Answer:
2np + p²
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the area of a square is A = s², where s = the length of one side of the square. In the case of the smaller square the area would be: n x n = n². Since the side of the larger square is 'p' inches longer, the length of one side is 'n + p'. To find the area of the larger square, we have to take the length x length or (n +p)².
Using FOIL (forward, outside, inside, last):
(n + p)(n+p) = n² + 2np + p²
Since the area of the first triangle is n², we can subtract this amount from the area of the larger square to find out how many square inches greater the larger square area is.
n² + 2np + p² - n² = 2np + p²
I think the answer is either 3/49 or about 0.061
hope this helps.
