Answer:

The measure of angle a is of 140º.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles:

If two angles are supplementary, their measures add to 180º.

Angle a and angle b are supplemetary angles.

This means that

<a + <b = 180º.

m angle a = (5x+25) and m angle b = (x+17)

$5x + 25 + x + 17 = 180$

$6x + 42 = 180$

$6x = 138$

$x = \frac{138}{6}$

$x = 23$

Measure of angle a:

The measure of angle a is of 140º.

Jim's backyard is a rectangle that is 15 5/6 yards long and 10 2/5 yards wide. Jim buys sods in pieces that are 1 1/3 yards long

Ne4ueva [31]

We are given

Jim's backyard:

Length is

$L=15\frac{5}{6} =\frac{95}{6} yards$

width is

$W=10\frac{2}{5} =\frac{52}{5} yards$

Since, this is rectangle

so, we can find area of rectangle

$A=L*W$

$A=(\frac{95}{6})*(\frac{52}{5})$

$A=\frac{494}{3} yard^2$

Area of one sod:

length is

$l=1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} yards$

width is

$w=1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} yards$

Since, it is rectangle in shape

so,

$Area=l*w$

$A=\frac{4}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$A=\frac{16}{9}yard^2$

Number of pieces of sod:

we can use formula

Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)

$N=\frac{\frac{494}{3} }{\frac{16}{9} }$

now, we can simplify it

$N=\frac{741}{8}$ pieces need ..............Answer

Jovie is maintaining a camp fire. She has kept the fire steadily burning for 101010 hours with 151515 logs. She wants to know ho

Eva8 [605]

Answer:666 hours

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is that if you turn the problem into an equation it would be h=Lx. h= hours. L=how long the log lasts and x=how many logs. So when you plug in the numbers you get 101010=L*151515. So we need to find L. What you do is you divide both sides by 151515 since it is the opposite of multiplication. 151515/151515 gets crossed out and 101010/151515 is .6666666666666 irrational. So the equation now looks like .666666 irrational=L. So .66666 irrational is your L. Know you plug .666666 irrational into your original equation. Which is now h=.6666 irrational*x. So to find how long the fire keeps on burning with 999 logs you just plug 999 into x and now your equation looks like this h=.6666 irrational*999. If you multiply .6666 irrational by 999 your final answer is 666.
