A piece of wood is cut into 3 pieces in the ratio 5:4:3 if the length of the shortest piece is 2 how long is the wood

Mathematics

Bad White [126]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5:4:3 = x:y:2

4:3 = y:2                 Cross multiply

3y = 8                     Divide by 3

y = 8/3 = 2.66'

5/x = 3/2

3x = 10                   Divide by 3

x = 10/3

x = 3.33

Length of the wood = 2.66 + 3.33 + 2

Length of the wood = 8 feet

How to find the surface area
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

158 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Surface area</u>

A = 2·(l·w + l·h + w·h)

= 2·(3in·8in + 8in·5in + 3in·5in)

= 2·(24in² + 40in² + 15in²)

= 2·(79in²)

= 158 in²

On May 17th Jane took out a loan for $33,000 at 6% to open her law practice office the loan will mature the following year on Ja
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$ 31050

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1 : Write the formula for calculating simple interest.</em>

Simple Interest = <u>P x R x T </u>

                                100

P: Principal Amount-The loan taken (30,000)

R: Interest rate at which the loan is give (6)

T: Time period of the loan in years-there are 12 months in 1 year. There are 7 months from May till June (7/12)

<em>Step 2: Substitute values in the formula</em>

Simple Interest = <u>30,000 x 6 x 7/12</u>

                                       100

Simple Interest = $1050

<em>Step 3: Calculate the amount due at maturity</em>

At the maturity or the end of the time period given, the original or principal amount of the loan has to be repaid along with the simple interest.

Amount at maturity = Principal Amount + Simple Interet

Amount at maturity = 30,000 + 1050

Amount at maturity = $31050

Given z^3 = 3 + square root 3i which letter represents z
Marianna [84]

The expression that represents the value of z is \sqrt[3]{3 + i\sqrt 3 }

<h3>What are complex numbers?</h3>

Complex numbers are numbers that have real and imaginary parts

A complex number (n) is represented as:

n = a + bi

From the above expression, we have:

  • a represents the real part
  • bi represents the imaginary part

Given that:

z^3 = 3 + \sqrt 3 i

Rewrite the above expression as:

z^3 = 3 + i\sqrt 3

Take the cube roots of both sides

z = \sqrt[3]{3 + i\sqrt 3 }

The letters are not given.

Hence, the expression that represents the value of z is \sqrt[3]{3 + i\sqrt 3 }

Please help!!!<br><br> i need help with this
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power

a) (2xy + 4x) + (15xy - 5x)  = <u>2xy + 15xy</u> +<u> 4x - 5x</u>

                                         = 17xy - x

b) (6a + 4b² - 3) + (3b² - 5) = 6a + <u>4b² + 3b²</u>  <u>- 3 - 5 </u>

                                           = 6a + 7b² - 8

c) (4x³ - 3x² +4x) + (8x² - 5x ) = 4x³ <u>- 3x² + 8x²</u>  <u>+ 4x - 5x</u>

                                               = 4x³  + 5x² - x

d) (7b - 6a  + 9y) - (12b + 5a - 2y) =

In subtraction, add the additive inverse of (12b + 5a - 2y)

additive inverse = - 12b  - 5a  + 2y

(7b - 6a  + 9y) - (12b + 5a - 2y) = 7b - 6a + 9y  -12b -5a + 2y

                                                   = 7b - 12b  -6a - 5a  + 9y + 2y

                                                   = -5b - 11a + 11y

e) (2x² + 7x - 2 + 9y) - (13x + 4x² + 5 - 6y)

Additive inverse of  13x + 4x² + 5 - 6y = -13x + 4x² - 5 + 6y

(2x² + 7x - 2 + 9y) - (13x + 4x² + 5 - 6y)= 2x² + 7x - 2 + 9y -13x - 4x² -5 +6y

                    = 2x² - 4x² + 7x -13x -2 - 5 + 9y + 6y

                    = -2x²  - 6x  - 7 + 15y
