Answer: 4.089; 4.870; 4.881; 4.89
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.
9 15
------ = ----------
2x-1 3x
Using cross products
9*3x = 15(2x-1)
27x = 30x-15
Subtract 30x from each side
27x-30x = 30x-30x -15
-3x = -15
Divide by -3
-3x/-3 = -15x/-3
x = 5
8 - 3x - x = 12
8 - 2x = 12
-2x = 12 - 8
-2x = 4
x = -2
The volume of the area is Length x width x height:
25 x 35 x 2/12 = 145.83 cubic feet.
1 cubic foot = 0.037 cubic yards:
145.83 x 0.037 = 5.40 cubic yards.
5.4 cubic yards x 1050 lbs/ cubic yard = 5,665.6 pounds.
Note:
Rounding and conversion may change the answer slightly, but I believe I rounded everything as it should be.
If the length of a uniform pipe is 45 pounds, then the 18 pound piece is 18/45 the length of the pipe. If 18/45 of the length of the pipe is equal to 3 feet, then we can set up the equation:
(18/45)x = 3ft
Where x is the total length of the pipe. Solving for x:
<span>(18/45)x = 3ft
</span>18x = 135
x = 7.5 feet
We now know that the total length of the pipe before being cut is 7.5 feet. Since the first piece was 3 feet, we know that the second piece must be 4.5 feet (7.5 - 3).
Answer: 4.5 feet
