Heya!
You have used 5 3/4 paint in all.
.
3 1/2 + 2 1/4
= 5 (2+1)/4
= 5 3/4

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the total amount of paint used by adding the two fractions.

First, we need to find the common denominators below adding.

1/2 = 2/4
1/4 = 1/4

The common denominator is 4.

Now, we add the mixed numbers together:

3 2/4 + 2 1/4 = 5 3/4

Since 5 3/4 can't be simplified, the answer is:

5 3/4 liters of paint

Hope this helps!

Area of a square = length²
A = x²
16 = x²; x = 4
dA/dx = 2x cm²/s
dx/dt = 6 cm/s
Using chain rule:
dA/dt = dA/dx * dx/dt
dA/dt = 2x * 6
dA/dt = 12x
At x = 4,
dA/dt = 12(4) = 48 cm²/s

In the diagram below, GH is parallel to DE . If GH is 3 more than EH FH=10, and DE=12 find the length of EH. Figures are not nec

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}$ , by the corresponding angles theorem, $\angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED$ . This means $\triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE$ by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5$
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.
