Answer: a)9 3/4 hours

B)1 11/12 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Piano: 3 1/2 hour; 3hours 30min

Soccer: 6 1/4 hour; 6hours and 15 min

Telephone: 4 1/3 hour; 4 hours and 20 min.

Remember that in an hour there is 60 min, and 1/2 of an hour is 30 (min), 1/4 is 15(min) and 1/3 is 20(min).

a) 3hours and 30min + 6hours and 15 min

That gives us 9 hours and 45 min, which is 9 3/4 hours.

B) 6hours and 15 min — 4 hours and 20 min

That gives us 1 hour and 55 min, which is 1 11/12 hours.

I hope this helps you!

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

In the triangle shown we can find the angle θ as follows calculator

Xelga [282]

Given a right triangle with hypothenus of measure 34, the side opposite the angle θ of measure 30, and the side adjacent the angle theta of measure 16.

$\sin\theta= \frac{opposite}{hypothenuse} = \frac{30}{34} = \frac{15}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \cos\theta= \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse} = \frac{16}{34} = \frac{8}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{8}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \tan\theta= \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{30}{16} = \frac{15}{8} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{8} \right)$

Given: PRST square

yuradex [85]

There is no difficulty in this problem until you construct the figures. How can we do it is shown in the attached picture. After drawing PRST, from the point P, we can draw PMKD and later we can complete PMCT as a result. From this picture, we can see that the side of PMCT is also a. Then, the area of this square is $A=a^{2}$
