The length of the shorter wire that the electrician cuts so that the difference between those two is of 5 m is 22.5.

Given to us

An electrician needs to cut a 49 m piece of wire into two pieces so that one piece is 5 m longer than the other piece.

<h3>What are the two equal parts of the wire?</h3>

We know that the length of the wire is 49 m, therefore, to cut the wire in two equal parts divide the total length of the wire by two,

\dfrac{49}{2} = 24.5

Thus, the length of each side will be 24.5.

<h3>What is the length of the shorter piece of wire?</h3>

Since we need to cut the wire such that one side of the wire is 5 less than the other, we already know the length of the equal sides deduct (5/2) from both sides to create a difference between the length of the wire.

Length of the shorter wire = 24.5 -2.5 = 22.5

Length of the longer wire = 22.5 + 5 = 27.5

Hence, the length of the shorter wire that the electrician cuts so that the difference between those two is of 5 m is 22.5.

m_a_m_a [10]

To complete the table it is necessary to know the possibilities that the sergeant has to change or remain in an intersection. The probabilities (depending on the box) are:

  • 0
  • 0.2
  • 0.25
  • 0.33

<h3>How to calculate the probability of intersection change? </h3>

To know the probability of intersection change, it is necessary to locate the police officer at one of the intersections. Subsequently, count how many possibilities of change you have, for example: 3 possibilities and finally add the possibility of remaining in the intersection as shown below:

  • Intersection 3 has 3 possibilities of changing towards intersections 2, 8 and 4. Additionally, it has the possibility of staying at intersection 3, that is, it has 4 possible decisions.

To know the probability we divide the number 1 (because it is only a decision that we have to make) and divide it by the number of possibilities (4).

  • 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

According to the image we can infer that in some intersections they only have 3, 4 and 5 possibilities, so the probability of change will be different as shown below:

  • 1 ÷ 3 = 0.33
  • 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
  • 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2

ind the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 12 cm. Approximate as 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth
Bezzdna [24]
The surface area of a sphere is:

A=4πr^2, if r=12 and π is approximated as 3.14 then

A≈4(3.14)(12^2)

A≈4(3.14)(144)

A≈576(3.14)

A≈1808.64 cm^2

A leg of a right triangle can never be greater then the hypotenuse

this formula will tell you if it's a valid right triangle
{?}^{2} + {?}^{2} = {?}^{2}
the first two question marks are the legs of the triangle while the one after the = is the hypotenuse.

THE STEPS:
{3}^{2} + { \sqrt{7}^{2} } = {4}^{2}
9 + {2.65}^{2} = 16
{2.65}^{2} = 7
9 + 7 = 16
