Your equation is like so A x 2 x 3 = 132
A is the length of your first string B is the length of your 2nd string (A x 2) and C (3) is the length of your 3rd string which is (A x 3).
A x 2 x 3 = 132
           /3     /3
A x 2 = 44
    /2     /2
A = 22.
A(22) x 2 x 3 = 132.  22 x 2 is 44.  44 is the length of line 2.  22 x 3 is 66, 66 is the length of line 3.  22 + 44 + 66 = 132.  66 is the length of your longest piece.

expeople1 [14]
,Okay, so here is how to calculate the amount of the trade discount:

I: $149,500 * .10 (10%) = 14,950 (this is the 10% discount)
149,500 - 14,950 = 134,550 (how much it costs with a 10% discount)

II: 134,550 * .5 (5%) = 6727.50
134,550 - 6727.50 = 127,822.50

III: 127,822.50 * .4 (4%) = 5112.90

The amount of the trade discount is: $14,950 + $6727.50 + $5112.90 = 26,790.40 dollars.

frez [133]
In this case probability is the likelihood that from 264 customers one customer wins free gallon of milk with his food purchase, or in other words the probability that one customer receives a star on his receipt.
Probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of all  possible events. From 264 customers, 219 have not received a star. The opposite is to receive a star and that is the situation: (1-219)/264=0.17,

John made a small rectangular table for his workroom. If the sides of the table are 32 inches and 26 inches, what should the tab
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The table should measure diagonally about 41.23 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal of a rectangle we use the formula :

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

A and B both represent the side lengths of the rectangle, while C is the diagonal part. Knowing this formula, let's plug in the values for A and B and see what happens.

32^{2} + 26^{2} = c^{2}

1024 + 676 = c^{2}

1700 = c^{2}

The square root of 1700 is (rounded to the hundreth's place) = 41.23
