Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two boys want to balance a seesaw perfectly. One boy weighs 240 pounds and is sitting four feet from the fulcrum. The other boy weighs 160 pounds. Where should the lighter boy sit to balance the seesaw?

We solve using the formula

Distance on the fulcrum × Weight of the boy

= 4 × 240 = x × 160

4 × 240 = 160x

x = 4 × 240/169

The area of a rectangle is 1,036 cm and its length is 74 cm.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(i) Breadth = 14 cm

(ii) Perimeter = 176 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

  • Area of a rectangle = 1036 cm²
  • Length = 74 cm

(i) Breadth = ?

We know that, Area of a rectangle = length × breadth.

Then,

1036 = 74 \times Breadth\\1036  \div 74 = Breadth\\\boxed{\bf\:14 \:cm = Breadth }

(ii) Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)

Then,

Perimeter = 2(74 + 14)\\Perimeter = 2(88)\\\boxed{\bf\: Perimeter = 176 \: cm}

How to solve 2x + 3(5-x)-12=4(x+2) step by step
larisa86 [58]
2x+3(5-x)-12=4(x+2)

Distribution property:
2x+15-3x-12=4x+8
Add like terms:
-1x+3=4x+8
Add 1x to both sides:
3=5x+8
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-5=5x
Divide by 5 on both sides to get x by itself:

x= -1

Find the area of the unshaded part of the figure
Tcecarenko [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

  unshaded area = 25(4 -π) in^2 ≈ 21.46 in^2

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Each of the shaded circles has a diameter of (20 in)/4 = 5 in, which also is the width of the enclosing rectangle. Then each circle has a radius of 2.5 in, and an area of ...

  A = πr^2 = π(2.5 in)^2 = 6.25π in^2

The four circles together have an area of ...

  4A = 4·(6.25π in^2) = 25π in^2

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW = (20 in)(5 in) = 100 in^2

Since the circles are shaded, the unshaded area is the difference between the rectangle area and the total area of the four circles:

  unshaded area = (100 in^2) - (25π in^2) = 25(4 -π) in^2 ≈ 21.46 in^2
