Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify into the parts given by sum of ratio values.

90cm / 15 = 6 cm

(a) longest piece

= 7 x 6 = 42 cm

(b) difference between longest and shortest

shortest = 3 x 6 = 18 cm

Difference = 42 - 18 = 24 cm

The length of a rectangular plot of land is 10 yards more than its width if the area of the land is 600 yd.² find the dimensions
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area = 600 yd^2

Length = width + 10

l = w + 10 ......1

Area of a rectangular plot is;

Area A = length × width

A = l × w

Substituting equation 1;

A = (w+10) × w

A = w^2 + 10w

600 = w^2 + 10w

w^2 +10w -600 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation;

w = -30 or 20

cannot be negative

w = 20 yd

l = w+10 = 20+10 = 30yd

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

30 meter building casts a shadow the distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is 37 M find the length of t
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:  22 meters

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Draw a picture of a right triangle and label the height as 30 meters and the hypotenuse as 37 meters.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the base (the length of the shadow).

a² + b² = c²

x² + 30² = 37²

x²          = 37² - 30²

x²          = 1369 - 900

x²          = 469

√x²       = √469

        x = 21.656

        x ≈ 22

The radius of a circle is 4 feet. What is the length of a 90° arc? HELP ME PLEASE
Elza [17]

Answer:

6.3feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Radius= 4feet

The expression for the circumference of a circle is

C= 2πr

Substitute

C=2*3.142*4

C=25.136 feet

Also, a 90° arc is 1/4 of the circumference of a circle

Hence the length of the 90° arc is

=25.136/4

=6.284 feet

=6.3feet
