At centroid medians bisect each other in the ratio 2:1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto OC=2(OD)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(3x-2)=5x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-4=5x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-5x=4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4$

A painting contractor paints with a brush at a rate of 192 square feet per hour. using a paint sprayer, she is able to cover 576

lara31 [8.8K]

Hi there,

2400 + 1632 = 4032

3 * 192 = 576

4032 - 576 =>

3532 - 76 =>

3532 + 24 - 76 - 24

3556 - 100

3456

3456 / 576 => 6

Therefore, 6 hours of sprayer work

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression $3\sqrt{1089}$

To find : Select the expression that is equivalent to expression ?

Solution :

Re-write the expression as,

$3\sqrt{1089}=3\sqrt{3\times 3\times 11\times 11}$

$3\sqrt{1089}=3\sqrt{3^2\times 11^2}$

$3\sqrt{1089}=3\sqrt{(3\times 11)^2}$

$3\sqrt{1089}=3\sqrt{(33)^2}$

$3\sqrt{1089}=3\times 33$

$3\sqrt{1089}=99$

The above are the possible equivalent expressions.
