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

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

Find an expression which represents the difference when (2x − 6) is subtracted
Sloan [31]

Answer:

-2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 6) is subtracted from (7 - 5).

First term that into an equation.

Because our first term is being subtracted from our second one, our equation is written as:

(7 - 5) - (2x - 6).

Simplify the first term by subtracting:

7 - 5 = 2

Now simplify the second term by multiplying 2x - 6 by -1 to get them out of the parenthesis. We do this because there is a negative sign in front of it.

-1 (2x - 6)

-2x + 6

Now our equation is:

2 - 2x + 6

Combine like terms:

2 + 6 = 8

So -2x + 8

(2x - 6) subtracted from (7 - 5) is -2x+8

An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

First blank- 32000 ounces

Second blank- 2000 pounds

Yes the bridge can hold 1 ton.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the scale of the model to the real bridge = 1:4

The test model shows the model can take 8000 ounces

The real bridge will therefore take 8000 x 4 = 32000 ounces

16 ounces = 1 pound

32000 ounces =  x pounds

==>  = 32000/16 = 2000 pounds

2000 pounds = 1 ton

therefore the bridge holds 1 ton

Please help me <br> I have to solve the triangle with the law of sines
Nikitich [7]

Check the picture below.

and since a triangle has a sum of 180° for all interior angles.

A = 180 - 39.34 - 25

A = 115.66

\bf \cfrac{sin(25^o)}{44}=\cfrac{sin(A)}{a}\implies \cfrac{sin(25^o)}{44}=\cfrac{sin(115.66^o)}{a} \\\\\\ a\cdot sin(25^o)=44\cdot sin(115.66^o)\implies a=\cfrac{44\cdot sin(115.66^o)}{sin(25^o)} \\\\\\ a\approx 93.8452\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{a = 93.85}

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
