Answer:
The length of the first piece = 41 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the first piece = a
Let the length of the second piece = b
Let the length of the third piece = c
we are given the following:
b = 3a . . . . . (1) (The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece)
c = 6 + a . . . . (2) (the 3rd piece is 6 centimeters longer than the 1st piece)
a + b + c = 211 . . . . . (3) ( the yarn has a total length of 211 centimeters)
Next, let us eliminate two variables, and this can easily be done by substituting the values of b and c in equations 1 and 2 into equation 3. this is done as follows:
a + b + c = 211
a + (3a) + (6 + a) = 211 ( remember that b = 3a; c = 6 + a)
a + 3a + 6 + a = 211
5a + 6 = 211
5a = 211 - 6 = 205
5a = 205
∴ a = 205 ÷ 5 = 41 cm
a = 41 cm
Therefore the length of the first piece (a) = 41 cm
now finding b and c
substituting a into equation 1 and 2
b = 3a
b = 3 × 41 = 123
∴ b = 123 cm
c = 6 + a
c = 6 + 41 = 47
∴ c = 47 cm
Answer:
B. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for the coefficient of the term x⁵. When we see it in the polynomial as 4x⁵, our coefficient and answer would then be 4.
The answer is X>-7 for your question
The formula for the area of the triangles is base x hight divided by 2 (bh/2)
The formula for the square is length times width (l x w)
therefore...
bh/2 = (12)(6) / 2 = 36 (this is the area of one triangle)
then you need to times 36 by 4 because you have 4 triangles.
36 x 4 = 144
l x w = 12 x 12 = 144 (this is the area of the square)
last you need to add the area of the triangles (144) and the area of the square (144) because that will give you the total surface area of the shape.
144+144= 288
so your answer is 288cm squared (288cm2)
