Answer:

<em>12/15 acres of land </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total measure of land = 2 2/5acres

Total brothers = 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = Total measure of land/Total brother

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = (2 2/5)/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 2 2/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 * 1/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/15

<em>Hence each brother will receive 12/15 acres of land </em>

An exterior angle of an isosceles triangle has measure 130°. Find two possible sets of measures for the angles of the triangle.

frozen [14]

(1) it can be both exterior of vertex or base. 180-130=50°
vertex is 50°: base=(180-50)/2=65°
base is 50°: vertex= 180-2*50=80°

vertex 50 base 65; vertex 80, base 50

(2)base=180-130=50°
vertex=180-2*50=80°

base 50 vertex 80

A skateboarder starting from rest accelerates down a ramp at 2 m/s for 2 s. What is the final speed of the skateboarder

Sedaia [141]

Initial speed of the skateboard (u) = 0 m/s (Starts from rest)

Acceleration of the skateboard (a) = 2 m/s²

Time taken by the skateboard (t) = 2s

By using equation of motion, we get:

$\bf \longrightarrow v = u + at \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow v = 0 + 2 \times 2 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow v = 4 \: m {s}^{ - 1}$

$\therefore$ Final speed of the skateboard(v) = 4 m/s
