Answer: 30.5 and 35.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.
x=y+5
x+y=66
Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5
The area of the right triangle =
b = base = SV = 12.3
h = hight = HL = 24.6
A = area
2 pieces at 2 3/4 feet is 2 x 2 foot 9 inches = 5 foot 6 inches
1 piece that is 3.5 feet is 3 feet 6 inches
2 pieces that are 1 5/8 feet are 2 x 1 foot 7 1/2 inches = 3 feet 3 inches
I think there should be more to the question. If you are looking for the best combination to buy it would be two 7 foot boards
