An artist is creating a sculpture using bendable metal rods of equal length. One rod is formed into the shape of a square and an

other rod into the shape of an equilateral triangle. If each side of the triangle is 2 inches longer than each side of the square, how long, in inches, is each rod?

Check the picture below.

so notice, their perimeter is the same, because the perimeter is just one rod anyway, and all rods are the same length, thus

$\bf P_s=P_t\implies 4s=3(s+2)\implies 4s=3s+6\implies s=6$

Answer:

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an artist creating a sculpture using bendable metal rods of equal length.

One rod is in square shape and second rod is in equilateral triangle shape.

We have to find the length of each rod

Let side of square= x inches

Length of each side of equilateral triangle =x+2 inches

We know that perimeter of square= $4\times side$

Perimeter of equilateral triangle= $3\times side$

Using the above formula

Then , Length of square shaped rod=perimeter of square = $4x$

Perimeter of equilateral triangle =Length of equilateral shaped rod= $3(x+2)$

Length of square shaped rod=Length of equilateral triangle shaped rod

$4x=3(x+2)$

$4x=3x+6$

$4x-3x=6$

$x=6$

Length of each side of square =6 inches

Length of square shaped rod= $4\times 6=24 inches$

Length of each side of equilateral side=6+2=8 inches

Length of equilateral shaped rod= $8\times 3=24 inches$

12x+7<−11 AND5x−8≥4012

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $12x+7$ and $5x-8\geq 40$

Solve both inequality separately.

$12x+7$ Subtraction property of inequality

$12x$

$12x$

$x$

$x$

and

$5x-8\geq 40$ Addition property of inequality

$5x\geq 40+8$

$5x\geq 48$

$x\geq \dfrac{48}{5}$

Hence, the solution of the compound inequality intersection of both solutions.

For three consecutive years, Sam invested some money at the start of the year. The first year, he invested x dollars. The second

nikitadnepr [17]

Year Sam Sally1: X (3/2)X-10002: (5/2)X-2000 2X-15003: X/5+1000 X/4+1400Total 37X/10-1000 15X/4-1100
Since their investments are known to be equal, we equate the two totals and solve for X.37X/10-1000=15X/4-1100(150-148)X/40 = 1100-1000X/20=100X=2000
So Sam invested $2000 the first year.Sally invested X/4+1400=1900 in the last year.

An experiment was performed to compare the wear of two different laminated materials. Twelve pieces of material 1 were tested by

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

At 0.05 level of significance, the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We hypothesize that mean difference between abrasive wear of material 1 and material 2 is greater than 2.

So we write the null hypothesis $H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 >2$ ,

and the alternative hypothesis $H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 2$ .

We will find the T-score as well as the p-value. If the p-value is less than the level of significance, we will reject the null hypothesis, i.e. we will conclude that the abrasive wear of material 1 is less than that of material 2. Otherwise, we will accept the null hypothesis.

Since the variance is unknown and assumed to be equal, we will use the pooled variance

$s_p^2 = \frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} = 20.05$ ,

where $n_1 = 12, n_2 =10, s_1 =4, s_2 = 5$ .

The mean of material 1 and material 2 are $\mu_1 =85, \mu_2=81$ respectively and mean difference $d$ is equal to 4. The hypothesize difference $d_0$ is equal to 2.

To find the T-score, we use the following formula

$T = \frac{d - d_0}{\sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2} }}$

Substituting all the values into the T-score formula gives us $T = 1.04$ , and the respective p-value is equal to 0.31. This means we have enough statistical evidence not to reject the null hypothesis, and at 5% significance level, the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units.

Triangle ABC and triangle CDE are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of AC is equal to

shusha [124]

Answer:

Option C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the triangle ABC, the slope of the line CA is given by $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{6 - 3}{-3 - (- 1)}$

Again, considering the triangle CDE, the slope of the line EC is given by

$\frac{CD}{DE} = \frac{3 - (- 3)}{- 1 - 3 }$

Since CA and EC represents the same straight line so, we can write

$\frac{6 - 3}{-3 - (- 1)} = \frac{3 - (- 3)}{- 1 - 3 }$

Therefore, option C is the correct option. (Answer)
