Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The side of the square is w/2, then its area is:</u>

  • A = (w/2)² = w²/4

<u>The shaded area is the difference of areas of the rectangle and the square:</u>

  • 14w - w²/4 = 84

<u>This can be simplified:</u>

  • 56w - w² = 336
  • w² - 56w + 336 = 0

Susie has a bag with 8 hair pins, 7 pencils, 2 snacks, and 4 books. What is the ratio of books to pencils?
Viefleur [7K]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

The first thing we need to do here is see which information is relevant.

The question is asking for the ratio of books to pencils.

Therefore, we only need the number of books and pencils - all other information given is irrelevant in this scenario.

Number of books - 4

Number of pencils - 7

Now, we can order this as a ratio.

A ratio is two numbers put as a proportion. It's normally written out as first number : second number.

In this case, it's the ratio of number of books : number of pencils.

Fill in the number of books and number of pencils into each side of the equation.

number of books : number of pencils

4 books : 7 pencils (the unit is normally dropped)

So therefore, 4:7 would be your final answer.

Hope this helped!

The question is basically asking you to calculate the new volume of the box that is 12x 7.5 x 2.5inches and to see if it has a larger volume than 162.5 sqin.

If you calculate the volume you should get 225 square inches.

Common core question please help!!!
Maru [420]
She has 648 shirts.

Work:
Lisa has 42 pineapples. 4 + 2 = 6
Johnny has 6 marbles.
42 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 54
54 + 5 + 4 = 63
63 + 6 + 3 = 72
But 72 is a multiple of 6!
Let's go further:
72 * 6 = 432

Now let's look at the word 'shirt'.
The middle letter is I.
I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
Remember the number 72?
72*9 = 648
