The length of pencil A is 5 cm
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the length of pencil A be "x"
Let the length of pencil B be "y"
Let the length of pencil C be "z"
<em><u>The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm</u></em>
Therefore,
length of pencil A + length of pencil B + length of pencil C = 29
x + y + z = 29 ------------ eqn 1
<em><u>Pencil A is 11 cm shorter then pencil B</u></em>
x = y - 11 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Pencil B is twice as long a pencil C</u></em>
y = 2z
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute y = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>
x = 16 - 11
x = 5
Thus length of pencil A is 5 cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of an isosceles triangle (has two equal sides) plus the area of a rectangle
step 1
Find the area of the triangle
The area of the triangle is equal to
we have
To find out the height of the triangle Apply the Pythagorean Theorem
solve for h
<em>Find the area of triangle</em>
step 2
Find the area of rectangle
The area of rectangle is equal to
we have
substitute
step 3
Find the area of the figure
Adds the areas
Answer: Use M A T H W A Y
In this equation x can be both 23 and -33 since the absolute value symbol will always make it positive.
Two ratios are 3:4 and 18:24
