Jennifer cut a board 2 m long into two pieces. one piece is 24 m shorter than the other. find the length of each piece.. Piz help me!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If its 24cm then this is the answer:
If its 24cm then the answer is:

2 m = 200 cm cut into 2 pieces of length x and y
x + y = 200
but 1 piece is 24 cm shorter than the other

i.e. x = y -24 substitute this into the above equation you get

y - 24 + y = 200
2y = 224
y = 112
x = y - 24
x = 112 - 24
x = 88

So 2 pieces are 88 cm and 112 cm in length

To check its correct 112 + 88 = 200 cm = 2m
And 112 - 88 = 24 cm

Which of the following equations represent the Pythagorean theorem?A. c =
\sqrt{ {a}^(2) }  +  {b}^(2)
B. m =
(y2  - y1)/(x2 - x1)
C. c= a+b
D. ab=ba

Answers

There's no equation represent the pythagorean theorem in the options. The option A is closed to pythagorean theorem, except the b² should be under root.

Pythagorean Theorem is supposed to be like this
c= \sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}

A rectangular room is four times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 70 meters. Find the width of the room. 

Answers

W=3/4L
P=2L=2W
70=2L+2(3/4L)
70=2L+6L/4
70=2L+1.5L
70=3.5L
L=70/3.5
L=20 FT. ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
W=4/4*20=15 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH


i think.

2(4w) + 2w = 70
8w + 2w = 70
10w = 70
W= 7 m

Again, you just have to learn to make the equations. :)

Solve 3y + 20 = 3 +2y

Answers


3y + 20 = 3 + 2y

3y- 2y = 3-20

y = -17

3y+ 20= 3+ 2y
⇒ 3y -2y= 3 -20 (inverse operation)
⇒ y= -17

Final answer: y= -17.

Alberto wants to keep their favorite tree from being uprooted by heavy winds. They plan to tie 3 sections of rope to a band on the trunk of the tree, 5 feet above the ground. They will tie each section of the rope to a stake in the ground 12 feet out from the base of the tree. How much rope will he need altogether?

Answers

Answer:

39 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the description as a guideline I have drawn out the situation (badly drawn) as seen in the picture below. From the picture, we see that we need to find x which is the length of one of the ropes. Once we have this length we simply multiply it by 3 to find out how much rope we need altogether. Since this is the diagonal of a triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x.

Pythagorean theorem: a^(2) +b^(2)  = c^(2)  .... which a and b are the two sides while x is the diagonal.

5^(2) +12^(2) = x^(2)

25 + 144 = x^(2)

169 = x^(2) ... now we square root both sides

13 = x

Now that we have the length of one of the ropes we simply multiply this by 3 to find the total amount of rope needed.

13 * 3 = 39 ft

Helppp meeYou walk into a restaurant. In the room there are 10 people who are 21 years old , 3 people are 26 years old 7 people are 29 years old and 9 people who are 31 years old. 17 are men. how many people are in the restaurant.

You walk into a restaurant. In the room there are 10 people who are 21 years old , 3 people are 26 years old 7 people are 29 years old and 9 people who are 31 years old. 17 are men. how many people are in the restaurant. 

10 + 3 + 7 + 9 = 29

The answer is 30 yes all the math adds up to 29 but you need to count yourself which the riddle hasnt
