Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

AB and DC are parallel to each other, so they are the same length. Set their lengths equal to each other and solve for x

4x = 7x - 9

4x - 7x = 7x - 7x -9

-3x = -9

-3x/-3 = -9/-3

x = 3

Now solve for AB.

AB = 4x

AB = 4(3)

AB = 12

1 find the area in square cm of a square whose side is

lara [203]

For question 1:

Part i)

2.6 x 2.6 = 6.76 cm squared

No unit conversions needed

Part ii)

1.2 dm = 1.2 / 1000000 = 0.0000012 cm

0.0000012 x 0.0000012 = 0.00000000000144 cm squared

Question 2:

16.5dm = 16.5/ 1000 = 0.0165 m

0.0165 x 0.0165 = 0.00027225 m squared

Two classes have a total of 60 students. The students need to make teams of 8t

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

We have 7 complete teams

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have students preparing to make a team of 8 students per team. We now want to know how many complete teams they can make if they are a total of 60;

To get this, we need the multiples of 8;

we have;

8, 16 , 24 , 32, 40 , 48 , 56

So breaking it in 8s, we have;

8 8 8 8 8 8 8

We have 7 8s;

So there would be four left overs
