Answer:

  65.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of strings required to tie each vertex to the other three will be ...

  (4)(3)/2 = 6

Those strings will be perimeter strings plus two diagonal strings. The lengths of the perimeter strings are given as 12 ft and 7 ft. The lengths of the diagonal strings can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d² = 12² +7² = 144 +49 = 193

  d = √193 ≈ 13.892

Then the total length of all strings is ...

  L = 2(12.0 +7.0 +13.9) = 65.8 . . . . feet

The artist will need 65.8 feet of string.

36x+32=32x-36<br> whats the value of x
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Subtract 32x from both sides</u>

36x + 32 - 32x = 32x - 36 - 32x

4x + 32 = -36

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 32 from both sides</u>

<u />4x + 32 - 32 = -36 - 32

4x = -68

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 4</u>

<u />4x / 4 = -68 / 4

x = -17

Answer:  x = -17

Which explicit formula generates the infinite sequence 2, 9, 28, 65, 126, ...?
Dimas [21]
1. The terms of a sequence are denoted by u_{1} ,  u_{2}, u_{3}, u_{4}, u_{5},...

2.
 u_{1}  = 2  = 2*1&#10;&#10;  u_{2} = 9 = 3*3&#10; &#10;u_{3} = 28 = 4*7&#10;&#10;u_{4} = 65 = 5*13&#10;&#10;u_{5} = 126 = 6*21&#10;

3. so it is clear that the first columns add each time by one, and the second column add by 2, then by 4, by 6, by 8 and so on.

4. consider only the second column and how we get the terms, which we will call t_{1} , t_{2}, t_{3}, t_{4}, t_{5},...:

t_{1}=1&#10;&#10;t_{2}=1+2&#10;&#10;t_{3}=1+2+4=1+2+2*2&#10;&#10;t_{4}=1+2+4+6=1+2+2*2+2*3=1+2(1+2+3)

t_{5}=1+2+2*2+2*3+2*4=1+2(1+2+3+4)

5.
So

u_{n}=(n+1)(1+2{1+2+3+....(n-1)})&#10;        &#10;         =(n+1)(1+2 [(n-1)n/2])&#10;&#10;         = (n+1)(1+(n-1)n)&#10;       &#10;         =(n+1)( n^{2}-n+1 )&#10;

6. We can check: u_{3} = (3+1)( 3^{2}-3+1 )=4*(9-3+1)=4*7=28

7. Remark: Gauss addition formula: 1+2+3+....+n=n(n+1)/2

A net is a two-dimensional pattern that can be folded to form a three-dimensional surface. T/F
Nitella [24]

Answer:  True

Explanation:

Consider a 3D cardboard box that you can unfold. It would unfold into a 2D net that you can then re-fold back into its 3D form. The 2D net is useful to help visualize and calculate the surface area. The surface area is simply the total area of all the external faces.
