Jackson is building a bookshelf and has a piece of wood that is 5/8 long. He needs to cut pieces that are 1/16 foot long. How many pieces can Jackson cut?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 is the Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction consists of two parts the top number and the bottom one.

Think of the top number as the count and the bottom as the size indicator. So you have:

countsize indicator −−−−−−−−−−→proper names numeratordenominator

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider the action example of dividing 3 into 6.

We can do this division directly because their size indicators are the same. That is, we have: 61÷31. People do not normally write it this way but it is correct.

To directly divide the counts the size indicator must be the same

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So we need to see how many of 18 will fit into 34

We can not do this directly in one operation as the size indicators are not the same.

Lets make the size indicators (denominators) the same

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value but

1 comes in many forms.

[34×1]÷18 → [34×22]÷18

[3×24×2]÷18 → 68÷18

Now that the size indicators (denominators) are the same we can just divide the counts (numerators)

countsize indicator→[68÷18]=6÷1=6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could explain more showing the connection between this and the shortcut method but what I have shown you will do for now.

Determine if the statement "Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent." is always, sometimes, or never true. Always, sometimes, or never

Answers

Answer:  Always true

Explanation:

This can be proven by dividing the parallelogram into two triangles, and then proving the triangles congruent (use ASA). Once you know the triangles are congruent, then the corresponding pieces must be congruent as well. The corresponding pieces being the same length tells us that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are always congruent.

Perpendicular meaning that the product of the slope/gradient is -1 hence ...
-1/5 * x = -1
x = -1/-1/5
x = 5
The equation perpendicular to y=-1/5x-3 is y=5x-c
Now it contains the points (1,2)
x variable is 1 and y variable is 2 plug them into the line equation
2=5(1)-c
2=5-c
2-5=-c
-3=-c divide by -1
3=c
Hence the perpendicular equation is y=5x+3

Question: If 2cm represents 75 miles on a scale drawing. How long would a line segment be that represents 50 miles?

Answers

Answer:

1.33cm

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2cm is representing 75 miles, that means that .66 (repeating) is representative of 25 miles. This is because .66 (repeating) times 3 is equal to 2, and 25 times 3 is equal to 75. The reason 1.33cm would be equal to 50 miles is because if 25 miles is equal to .66, and 50/25 = 2, then you would have 2x.66 (repeating), to get 1.33.

A. Parallelogram LMNP

B. 33

C. 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

LMNP is a parallelogram.

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are Supplementary.

[tex] \therefore 82\degree +(3x - 1)\degree =180\degree [/tex]

[tex] \therefore (3x - 1+82)\degree =180\degree [/tex]

[tex] \therefore (3x +81)\degree =180\degree [/tex]

[tex] \therefore 3x +81 =180 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore 3x =180-81 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore 3x =99 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore x =\frac{99}{3} [/tex]

[tex] \therefore x =33 [/tex]

[tex] \implies m\angle N= (3x - 1)\degree=(3*33 - 1)\degree=(99-1)\degree = 98\degree [/tex]

[tex] \because m\angle L =m\angle N[/tex]

m∠BFE  = 171º

BE = 219º

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BFE is supplementary to ∠EFC

m∠BFE  = 180 - 9

m∠BFE  = 171º

--------------------------

The angle between two chords is equal to half the sum of the intercepted arcs:

∠BFE = (DC + BE)2

171 = (123 + BE)/2

342 = 123 + BE

219º = BE

Find the volume of the prism. Write the answer as a fraction in simplest form. A rectangular prism with length one-half millimeter, width one-fourth millimeter, and height three-fifths millimeter. V = mm3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V=0.09375\ mm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of the rectangular prism = (1/2) mm

Width = (1/4) mm

Height = (3/4) mm

We need to find the volume of the prism. We know that the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is given by :

V = lbh

Put all the values,

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{4}\\\\V=0.09375\ mm^3[/tex]

So, the volume of the prism is equal to [tex]0.09375\ mm^3[/tex].

Which relationship is true for the triangle based on the Law of Sines?

Answers

Answer:

We know the  angle given refers to the length of the opposite side.

Given angle = 82 and the opposite side = 34 so part of the  relationship is

sin 82 / 34 = sin (  ) / ( )

We are also given one side = 27 and that side is opposite angle at C

so that part of the relationship is   sin C / 27

sin 82 / 34 = sin C / 27

A true relationship based on the Law of Sines was found in the given triangle.

In the given triangle

∠A=82°

Length of side in front of ∠A = 34

Length of side in front of ∠C = 27

What is sine law?

According to sine law, in a triangle, ABC, if the sides in front of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C are a, b, c respectively then

[tex]\frac{SinA}{a} =\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}[/tex]

According to the sine law, the sides in front of angle A and angle C are 34 and 27 respectively.

So, [tex]\frac{Sin82}{34} =\frac{SinC}{27}[/tex]

Hence, a true relationship based on the Law of Sines was found in the given triangle.
