Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
8*3 is 24 and you cannot add another 8 after that
"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
Not really sure what exactly you are asking, but maybe a bar graph?
The answer is 12 because (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
5^2 + b^2 = 13^2
25 + b^2 = 169
169- 25 = 144

Sqaure root of 144 is 12 so If we plug that in..
25 + 144 = 169
5^2 + 12^2 =13^2
This all checks out
