Answer:

Each individual lost 6 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, there were 32 pieces

After a while, 20 was left

The number of pieces lost will be 32-20 = 12 pieces

We are told that equal number of pieces were lost

So the number of pieces lost per individual will be:

12/2 = 6 pieces

What is the distance between the points (-6,7) and (-1,1)?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

\sqrt{61}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, we first do B - A, where B is (-6, 7) and A is (-1, 1):

(-6, 7) - (-1, 1) = (-6+1, 7-1) = (-5, 6)

Imagine it as a triangle, where the hypotenuse is the distance, and -5 and 6 are the lengths of the sides.  

To find the hypotenuse (Pythagorean Theorem):  \sqrt{(-5)^2+6^2} =\sqrt{25+36} =\sqrt{61}

The answer is the square root of 61.

A shelf can be packed from end to end with 30 large books or 45 small books.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

since 30÷45 = 2/3 then

The space taken by a small book is equal to

the space taken by 2/3 a large book.

…………………………………………………

<u><em>Calculating the number of large book corresponding to 23 small books</em></u> :

= 23×(2÷3) + 3

= 18.333333333333 (large book)

Then ,Kevin can pack the shelf with (at most) : 30 - 19 = 11 more large books

For the purpose of purchasing new baseboard and​ carpet, complete parts a and b below.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

(a)i. Area=72 square feet

ii. Perimeter =34 feet

(b) Baseboard - perimeter

Carpet - area

Step-by-step explanation:

The room is 9ft x 8ft, therefore it is rectangular shaped.

Length=9ft; Breadth=8ft

(a)i. Area of a Rectangle= Length X Breadth

Area of the room=8X9=72 square feet

ii. Perimeter of a Rectangle=2(Length+Breadth)

Perimeter of the room=2(8+9)=2 X 17 =34 feet

(b) A baseboard goes around the edge or boundary of the room, so it has to do with perimeter

A carpet covers the entire floor so it has to do with the area of the room.

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 54 inches, find it’s length an
dangina [55]

Answer: Length = 15, Width = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

L = length

W = width

L = W+ 3

perimeter = 2L + 2W

54 = 2(W+3) + 2W

54 = 2W + 6 + 2W

54 = 4W + 6

54 - 6 = 4W

48 = 4W

W = \frac{48}{4}

W = 12

now to find the length, plug the width into the equation L = W + 3

length:

L = W+3

L=12 +3

L = 15
