Answer:

he isn't

Step-by-step explanation:

The wood has dimensions of 18 x 12

If He wants the tray to have a height of 2, subtract 2 x 2 from both the length and the width

18 - 4 = 14

12 - 4 = 8

the highest possible dimensions of the tray can be 14 x 8

10 1/2 x 10 1/2 is greater than 14 x 8. so he is not correct

Part 2 of 3
dlinn [17]

Considering that point S splits segment RT, we have that:

a) The value of y is of y = 4.

b) The lengths are: RS = 29, ST = 19.

<h3>How to find the value of variable y?</h3>

Point S splits segment RT into two parts, hence the length of segment RT can be given by the following equation:

RT = RS + ST

The measures are given as follows:

  • RS = 6y + 5.
  • ST = 3y + 7.
  • RT = 48.

Hence we can solve the equation for y, as follows:

RT = RS + ST

6y + 5 + 3y + 7 = 48.

9y = 36.

y = 4.

<h3>What are the lengths of segments RS and ST?</h3>

Considering that y = 4, we have that:

  • RS = 6y + 5 = 6(4) + 5 = 29.
  • ST = 3y + 7 = 3(4) + 7 = 19.

A large box contains three small boxes and a pearl. The pearl is not in either of the
frutty [35]

The number of pearls in the large box is 16.

<h3>How many pearls are in the large box?</h3>

Multiplication is the process of determining the product of a number through applying a set of mathematical rules.

The total number of pearls in the large box = total number of pearls in the small boxes + 1

(3 x 5) + 1 = 16.
