Hello there, today you gave us the problem $\frac{17}{20}-\frac{4}{15}$ ,

Our first step is to give them common denominators, which is $\frac{51}{60}-\frac{16}{60}$ , solve it and we get $\frac{35}{60}$ as our answer, which can be simplified down to $\frac{7}{12}$

If the perimeter of a square is 20, find the length of a diagonal

avanturin [10]

Answer:

7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Length</u></h2>

a square has equal length on each side

hence is the perimeter is 20 it means that :

each side is 20/4 = 5

we can make a diagonal line which create 3 right angled triangles

2 sides of the triangle are 5 , this is the base and the height

to find the length we can make use of the Pythagoras theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c is the hypotenuse ( the diagonal;)

a and b are the opposite and adjacent

hence :

c^2 = 5 ^2 + 5^2

c^2 = 50

c = $\sqrt{50}$

c = 7.071

to 3sf

<h3><u>diagonal length = 7.07</u></h3>

f(x)= 1/x, vertically stretched by a factor of 7, reflected in the y-axis, translated 5 units to the right, and translated 3 uni

Harman [31]

Answer:

-7/(x-5) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, to reflect an equation in the y axis, just multiply by -1. Now that it is reflected, to stretch an equation by a factor of 7, multiply it by 7. Now we have -7/x.

Then, to move an equation down by 3 units, simply subtract it by 3. Now we have -7/x - 3.

Lastly, since you want to translate it 5 units to the left, you want the equation to be undefined at x = 5 (because originally it is undefined at x = 0). To do that, set the denominator to x - 5. We arrive at our answer: -7/(x-5) - 3.

Need help please assist me find the area of a regular hexagon

garri49 [273]

Answer:

The area of the regular hexagon is $166.3\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a regular hexagon can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles

step 1

Find the area of one equilateral triangle

$A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$

we have

$b=r=8\ units$

$h=4\sqrt{3}\ units$ ----> is the apothem

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(8)(4\sqrt{3})$

$A=16\sqrt{3}\ units^{2}$

step 2

Find the area of 6 equilateral triangles

$A=(6)16\sqrt{3}=96\sqrt{3}=166.3\ units^{2}$

Lynna [10]

36.5
He’d have 36, 6 in sandwiches and a 3 inch section left
Explanation:
Take 18.25 and multiply by 12 which gives you 219. The amount of inches in the sandwich. Then divide 219 by 6 and you get 36.5
