Answer: 5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has equal sides that all have x length. The area of the square would be x^2.

x^2 = 32 ft^2

x = 5.6 feet, to the nearest tenth.

[The actual value is 5.65685 feet. but the questions says round to nearest tenth.]

Hello!

We are told that n and m are parallel.
The angle that measures 105 degrees is supplementary with the alternate interior angle of the angle which measures (3x - 18) degrees. Supplementary angles add to equal 180 degrees, so we can make an equation by first finding the measure of the alternate interior angle.

180 - 105 = 75

The alternate interior angle measures 75 degrees, so we can set that equal to 3x - 18 to solve for x since alternate interior angles are congruent.

75 = 3x - 18
93 = 3x
31 = x

Answer:
x = 31

A cup of raw Arborio rice weighs 7 ounces. One cup will serve 1 people. Arborio rice is purchased in 2-pound boxes for $1.99. Ho

The rice will cost $17.6 for serving 40 people

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

We need to determine the cost of serving 40 people with rice

Arborio rice is purchased in 2-pound boxes for $1.99

The price of 1 pound box will be $\frac{\$ 1.99}{2}=\$ 0.995$

1 Pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz)

Therefore, the price of 16 ounces is $0.995

A cup of raw Arborio rice weighs 7 ounces and it serve 1 people

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { The cost per person is } \frac{\$ 0.995}{16} \times 7=\$ 0.44} \\\\ {\text { The cost for serving } 40 \text { people }=\$ 0.44 \times 40=\$ 17.6}\end{array}$
