3. A drinking straw of length 21 cm is cut into 3 pieces. The length of the first piece is x cm.
The second piece is 3 cm shorter than the first piece. The third piece is twice as long as the
first piece
State, in terms of x, the length of EACH of the pieces.
(2 marks)
(ii)
Write a simplified expression, in terms of x, to represent the sum of the lengths of
the three pieces of drinking straw.
(2 marks)
(iii)
Hence, calculate the lengths for the 3 pieces of straw
(4marks)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of straw - L

Length of piece 1 - x

Length of piece 2 - y

Length of piece 3 - z

What's given and the answer to (i)

y = x - 3

z = 2x

(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x

L = 4x-3

(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4

leaving you to calculate x

then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer

Answer:

75.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture, since x is an inscribed angle, it's arc(arc XO) would be twice it's measure. Therefore, arc XO in this picture would be represented by 2x and the larger arc(arc XYO) will be represented by 360-2x since it is all of the perimeter except for the portion that is the measure of arc XO.

For this picture, you would use:

[tex]\frac{arc XYO-arc XO}{2}[/tex] =29

[tex]\frac{360-2x-2x}{2}[/tex]                 Substitute in the measures of the arcs.

[tex]\frac{360-4x}{2}[/tex]                       Combine -2x with -2x to simplify the problem

180-2x=29               DIvide by 2

-2x= -151                   Subtract by 180 from both 180 and 29

x= 75.5                     Divide by -2. (Both numbers are - so the answer is a +)

The sum of 32,476 and a number P is divided by 381, the quotient is 100 and remainder is zero. Find the number P.

Answer:

p = 5,624

Step-by-step explanation:

(32,476 + p) / 381 = 100

multiply both sides by 381

32,476 + p = 38,100

Subtract 32476 from both sides

p = 5,624

what is the angle of x

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, subtract all of the given angles from 180.

We subtract from 180 because the angles in a triangle (when added together) add up to 180.

180 - 90 - 35 = 55

x = 55 is the answer.

#teamtrees #PAW (Plant And Water)

Answer:

55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Angles = x , 35° and 90°.

We know :-

Angle sum property of∆ = 180° .

→ 35 + x + 90 = 180

→ x + 125 = 180

x = 55°

TO FIND :-

The base of the triangle

GENRAL FORMULAE TO BE USED IN THIS QUESTION :-

For a triangle with height 'h' & base 'b' , its area = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h[/tex]

SOLUTION :-

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height[/tex]

Answer:

sqrt(106) =c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

5^2 +9^2 = c^2

25+81 = c^2

106 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(106)= sqrt(c^2)

sqrt(106) =c

Answer:

Length of missing side is 10.44/ √106.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

A right triangle with

1st side = a = 5

2nd sidd = b = 9

and , we need to find 3rd side of triangle

let the 3rd side be x.

Using Pythagoras theorem

a ² + b ² = c ²

( 5 ) ² + ( 9 ) ² = ( c)²

25 + 81 = ( c) ²

106 = ( c) ²

Taking square root of each side

√106 = √ c ²

√106 = c

10.44 = c

So, missing side if triangle is 10.44 /√106.

If AD = 5.1cm, find the height (in cm) of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

I. AC = 15 cm

II. h = 7.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I. Determination of AC

AB = 9 cm

BC = 12 cm

AC =?

The length AC can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = 9² + 12²

AC² = 81 + 144

AC² = 225

Take the square root of both side

AC = √225

AC = 15 cm

II. Determination of the height.

AB = 9 cm

AD = 5.1 cm

BD = h =?

The height of the triangle can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

AB² = AD² + BD²

9² = 5.1² + h²

81 = 26.01 + h²

Collect like terms

h² = 81 – 26.01

h² = 54.99

Take the square root of

h = √54.99

h = 7.4 cm

Answers

A) 5, 8, 11

B) 32

All you must do for this question is replace the variable “n” in the equation for the number term the question asks for.

For example, in part a of the question is asks for the first 3 terms. So you would replace “n” in the equation for 1, 2, and 3 to find the first 3 terms.

For the 1st term you would do 3 * 1 +2, which would give you 5.

You do this for the rest.

Find the area of the polygon . :)

Answers

Answer:

41 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

this polygon can be split into several sub-shapes, for which we can calculate their areas much easier. and then we simply add all the sub-results for the total result.

for me this split would be

1. square CDEF, with F being an additional point at (6,5) : 4 units to the right of C.

2. a right-angled triangle ABF (the same F as for 1.).

the area of a square is the square of a side length.

the side length in 1. is 4.

so, its area is 4×4 = 16 square units.

the area of a right-angled triangle is

a×b/2

with a and b being the sides enclosing the 90 degree angle.

in our case here a = BF = 10, b = FA = 5

so the area of the triangle is 10×5/2 = 25 square units.

so, the total area is 16 + 25 = 41 square units.
