A rectangular block of wood measures 5 inches wide. Over time, the width of the block of wood will shrink by 5%. A builder lets the block of

wood shrink. He wants to use it to fill a gap that measures 3.5 inches wide.

How much does the builder need to cut off the wood block so that it will fit exactly in the gap? Enter the answer in the box.

The builder needs to cut

inches off the block of wood.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]3.675\ in.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Wood shrinks 5% over the period of time

The width of the gap is 3.5 inch

The length of the rectangular block is 5 inch

So, the builder cut the rectangular block 5% bigger to compensate for the shrinkage

Required length is

[tex]\Rightarrow 3.5+5\%\times 3.5\\\Rightarrow 3.5+0.05\times 3.5\\\Rightarrow 3.5[1+0.05]\\\Rightarrow 3.675\ in.[/tex]

Shape A can be transformed to shape B by a reflection in the x-axis followed by a translation (c/d). Find the value of c and the value of d

Answers

Answer:

[tex]c = -6[/tex]

[tex]d = -1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for grid

Required

Find c and d

From the attachment, we have:

[tex]a = (3,5)[/tex] --- Point on A

[tex]a' = (-3,-6)[/tex] --- Corresponding point on B

When A is reflected across the x-axis, the rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,-y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](3,5) \to (3,-5)[/tex]

Next, is to calculate the translation from [tex](3,-5)[/tex] to [tex](-3,-6)[/tex]

This is calculated using:

[tex]3 + c = -3[/tex]

and

[tex]-5 + d = -6[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]3 + c = -3[/tex]

[tex]c = -3-3[/tex]

---- i.e. Shift by 6 units to the left

[tex]-5 + d = -6[/tex]

[tex]d = 5 - 6[/tex]

[tex]d = -1[/tex]  --- i.e. Shift by 1 unit down

Miss David's birthday is in April, and she is going to have a party. She is looking to buy a bag of decorations. Each bag has two different types of decorations: balloons and streamers. The first bag has 11 balloons and 6 streamers. The second bag has 15 balloons and 4 streamers. The last bag has 6 balloons and 12 streamers. Bag 1 costs $91, bag 2 costs $99, and bag 3 costs $102. How much does each type of decoration cost?

Answers

Answer:

b = $5

s = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved using simultaneous equation

s = streamers

b = balloons

either of the 3 equations can be used to determine the price of the items

11b + 6s = 91 equation 1

15b + 4s = 99 equation 2

multiply equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 6

44b + 24s = 364 eqn 3

90b + 24s = 594 eqn 4

subtract equation 3 from 4

230 = 46b

b = 5

substitute for b in eqn 1

55 + 6s = 91

s = 6

a) How many sides does it have?
b) What is the sum of the interior angles?
c) What is the measure of one of its exterior angles?

Answers

Answer:

a) 40 sides

b) 6840

c) 9 gegrees

Step-by-step explanation:

interior angle= (n-2)180

n

[tex] (n - 2)180 \div n = 171 \\ 180n - 360 = 171n \\ 180n - 171n = 360 \\ 9n = 360 \\ n = 360 \div 9 = 40 \\ [/tex]

so total number of sides is 40

b) Sum of interior angles= (n-2)×180

(40-2)×180

38×180

6840

c) Exterior angle = 360 ÷ n

360÷40 =9 degree
