Spencer has a wooden post that is five and three sevenths feet long. He cut two and one half feet off the post. What is the length of the remaining post in feet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

Additional comment

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

Select the correct answer. Which line has a y-intercept of 2 and an x-intercept of -3? W. X. Y. Z. A. W B. X C. Y D. Z

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the graphs or equations of the lines are not given.

However, I will give a general explanation of calculating both intercepts

A linear equation is of the form:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where:

[tex]b \to[/tex] y intercept

So, the equation

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2[/tex]

has 2 as its y-intercept

Set y to 0, to calculate the x-intercept

[tex]0 = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x = 2[/tex]

Multiply by 3/2

[tex]x = 2 * \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

So, the equation with the required criteria is:

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2[/tex]

find the interior angle sum for the following polygon.​

Answers

We know that the interior angle sum of a polygon is (n − 2) × 180°, where n is the number of sides.

Here, number of sides (n) = 12

So, interior angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°

=> interior angle sum = (12 - 2) × 180°

=> interior angle sum = 10 × 180°

=> interior angle sum = 1800°

So, the interior angle sum of this polygon is 1800°.

15² = x × 20

225 = 20x ( divide both sides by 20 )

[tex]\frac{225}{20}[/tex] = x , that is

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

Given is right triangle ABC, divided into two more right triangles, ADC and ADB, also, triangle ABD ~ triangle CAD.

Therefore, according to the definition of similar triangles, the corresponding sides are in proportion.

we have,

CA / CB = CD / CA

15/20 = x/15

x = 15²/20

x = 225/20

x = 45/4

Hence, the value of the x in the given triangle is 45/4.

use the ratio of a 45-45-99 triangle to solve for the variables. ​

Answers

Answers:

[tex]a = 18\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]b = 18[/tex]

==============================================================

Explanation:

For any 45-45-90 triangle, the two legs are the same length. We consider triangles like this to be isosceles. So we have b = 18 as the vertical leg because the horizontal leg is also 18 units long.

The hypotenuse of these types of triangles is always [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] times longer compared to the leg length. So the hypotenuse is [tex]a = 18\sqrt{2}[/tex]

As an alternative, you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

f(x) = -4(x+3)+6(x+4)

Answers

Answer:

zero of the function occurs at x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = -4(x+3)+6(x+4)

Since the question is incomplete, we can as well find the zero of the given function. The zero exists when f(x) = 0

Hence;

-4(x+3)+6(x+4) = 0

Expand

-4x - 12 + 6x + 24 = 0

Collect the like terms

-4x + 6x - 12 +24 = 0

2x + 12 = 0

2x = -12

x = -12/2

x = -6

Hence the zero of the function occurs at x = -6

Eliana claims she has discovered a method for determining the general form equation of a line
The line Ax + By + C = 0 will always be perpendicular to the line Bx - Ay + C = 0.
Is Eliana's method reasonable? Explain why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a line is given by:

Ax + By + C = 0

The slope intercept form of a line is give by:

y = mx + b;

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Given a line with equation Ax + By + C = 0; the slope of the line can be gotten by representing in slope intercept form, hence it becomes:

By = -Ax - C

y = (-A/B)x - C/B

The slope is -A/B

For a line with equation Bx - Ay + C = 0:

Ay = Bx + C

y = (B/A)x + C/A

the slope is B/A

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of the slopes is -1. Hence:

-A/B * B/A = -1; hence the two lines are perpendicular
