Fernando has two equally-sized containers of clay which he is using to build a pyramid-like structure. The finished structure will consist of four square-based, two-inch thick slabs of clay, with each slab two inches less wide than the one beneath it. Fernando has one-half of a container of clay left after forming the first two slabs. Does he have enough clay to finish the structure?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fernando does not have enough clay to finish the structure since, the expressions for the volume left are not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the length of the longest slab. Since each slab is 2 inches less than the one beneath it, we have the width of the other 3 slabs as w - 2, w - 2 - 2 = w - 4 and w - 4 - 2 = w - 6 respectively.

Since the base of each slab is a square and has thickness 2 inches, the volume of each slab from largest to smallest is thus 2w², 2(w - 2)², 2(w - 4)² and 2(w - 6)² respectively.

We have that we have half of the container of clay left after forming the first two slabs(which are the bottom-most slabs). Let V be the volume of each clay container. Since we have half left, that is V/2, we have used 2V - V/2 = 3V/2 to make the two bottom-most slabs.

So, 3V/2 = 2w² + 2(w - 2)²

= 2w² + 2(w² - 4w + 4)

= 2w² + 2w² - 8w + 8

= 4w² - 8w + 8

= 4(w² - 2w + 2)   (1)

Also we want to know if V/2 is equal to the volume of the two top-most slabs.

So, V/2 = 2(w - 4)² + 2(w - 6)²

= 2(w² - 8w + 16) + 2(w² - 12w + 36)

= 2w² - 16w + 32 + 2w² - 24w + 72

= 4w² - 40w + 104

= 4(w² - 10w + 26)

From (1) V/2 = 4(w² - 2w + 2)/3 ≠ 4(w² - 10w + 26)

Since the expressions for the remaining volume are not the same, Fernando does not have enough clay to finish the structure.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

113+90+90+12x+7=360(sum of four angles is always 360 degree)

300+12x=360

12x=360-300

x=60/12

x=5

Answer:

X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Shapes with 4 sides have angles that add to 360 degrees

So you have two right angles and 113 degrees.

This is

90+90+113=293

360-293=67

12x5=60

60+7=67

Which linear equation has a slope greater -1 but less than 0?
1. 5x+4y=20
2. 4x+5y=20
3. 5x-4y=20
4. 4x-5y=20​

Answers

Answer:

2.     4x + 5y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the slope of each of the equations;

y = mx + c

where;

m is the slope

In each of the given equations, make y the subject of the formula

1. 5x + 4y = 20

       4y = 20 - 5x

         y = (20/4)  -  (5x/4)

         y = 5 - 5x/4

m = -5/4

2. 4x + 5y = 20

      5y = 20 - 4x

        y = 4 - 4x/5

m = -4/5 = -0.8

3. 5x - 4y = 20

        4y = 5x - 20

          y = 5x/4  - 5

m = 5/4

4. 4x - 5y = 20

          5y = 4x  -  20

            y = 4x/5  - 4

m = 4/5

The question says, which of the slope is greater than - 1 but less than 0

- 1 < m  < 0

The only equation with slope greater than -1 but less than 0 is 4x + 5y = 20, with slope -4/5 = -0.8

  outcomes (top to bottom): SS, SG, GS, GG

  all probabilities are 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each outcome is identified by the labels on the ends of the corresponding tree branch, in order left-to-right. The top one is SS, for example, and the next one down is SG. Continuing down the tree, the outcomes are GS and GG.

Each letter has a probability of 1/2, so any pair of letters will have a probability of (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4 = 0.25.

__

This method of identifying outcomes and their probabilities can ensure that you find all outcomes. The sum of probabilities should be 1.00 if the tree is properly constructed.

find the measure of angle G

Answers

Answer:

135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

It is as isosceles trapezoid, so the the base angles are congruent. The sum of the inner angles is 360 degrees

2(4x-7) + 2(11x -8) = 360

8x - 14 + 22x -16 = 360

30x = 390

x = 13

angle F = angle G

angle G = 11 * 13 - 8 = 135 degrees

Answer:

EFG = 104°

GFH = 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a linear pair is always equal to 180°

So lets solve for the variable n

2n + 32 + 4n + 16 = 180

6n + 48 = 180

6n = 132

n = 22

So now we know N

EFG = 4n + 16

EFG = 88 + 16

EFG = 104°

GFH = 2n + 32°

GFH = 44 + 32

GFH = 76°

angle FDA = 75 degrees

angle JAI = 75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔDCE,

angle D + angle C + angle E = 180......(sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees)

angle D + 80 + 25 = 180

angle D + 105 = 180

angle D = 180 - 105

angle D (I. e angle CDE ) = 75 degrees

Now, angle CDE and angle FDA are vertically opposite angles, so,

angle CDE = angle FDA..... (vertically opposite angles are congruent to each other)

therefore, angle FDA = 75 degrees

Now, angle CDE and angle BAD are corresponding angles, so,

angle CDE = angle BAD...... ( corresponding angles are congruent to each other)

angle BAD = 75 degrees

Now, angle BAD and angle JAI are vertically opposite angles, so,

angle BAD = angle JAI..... (vertically opposite angles are congruent to each other)

therefore, angle JAI = 75 degrees
