To celebrate a diners anniversary, the owners have made a 40 foot long sandwich. The sandwich is cut into three unequal pieces.

The longest piece is three times as long as the middle piece, and the shortest piece is 5 feet shorter than the middle piece. What is the length of the longest piece?

Let x be he length of middle piece.
3x = length of longer piece.
x-5 = length of shortest piece.

x + 3x + x-5 = 40
5x - 5 = 40
5x = 45
x = 45/5
x = 9. ( Size of middle piece )

Given that the longer piece is 3 times the size of middle piece,

Longest piece = 3 x 9 = 27.

Size of longest piece = 27 feet
Size of middle piece = 9 feet
Size of smaller piece = 40 - (27+9)
= 40 - 36
= 4 feet.
Thank you.

What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation 5x + y = 4?
klio [65]

Answer: Explanation:The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+bWhere m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.We can subtract 5x from each side of the equation to put the equation in slope intercept form while keeping the equation balanced:−5x+5x+y=−5x+40+y=−5x+4y=−5x+4Therefore:The slope is: m=−5The y-intercept is: b=4 or (0,4)

Use the net to find the lateral area of the cylinder.
ioda
The lateral area is the area around, the bases are the circles so the lateral area is the area of the rectangle

we just need the legnth of the rectangle which is the circumfernece of the circle

C=pid
d=12
C=12pi

area=lw
aera=12pi*15
area=180pi yd^2

The figure below shows a triangle with vertices A and B on a circle and vertex C outside it. Side AC is tangent to the circle. S
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

First, one theorem states that (arc AB - arc AX) / 2 = angle ACB. We know that arc AB is 176, so we have

(176 - arc AX) /2 = ∠ACB

Next, the Inscribed Angle Theorem states that

arc AX/2 = ∠ABX

multiply both sides by 2

56 * 2 = arc AX = 112

Therefore, ∠ACB = (176-112)/2 = 64/2 = 32

The cart says x: 9 4 5 6 and y : 5 0 1 2 and it's set up like this a. Y =x-4 B. y=x+1 C.y=x+6 D. Y=2x +4
emmasim [6.3K]

I am assuming that the question is asking for the equation of the line if it goes through those coordinates. In which case, the answer would be A. y = x - 4

We can see this because if we substitute in any of the x and y values, the equation is correct:

5 = 9 - 4

0 = 4 - 4

1 = 5 - 4

I hope this helps!
