If the length of a uniform pipe is 45 pounds, then the 18 pound piece is 18/45 the length of the pipe. If 18/45 of the length of the pipe is equal to 3 feet, then we can set up the equation:
(18/45)x = 3ft
Where x is the total length of the pipe. Solving for x:
<span>(18/45)x = 3ft
</span>18x = 135
x = 7.5 feet

We now know that the total length of the pipe before being cut is 7.5 feet. Since the first piece was 3 feet, we know that the second piece must be 4.5 feet (7.5 - 3).

Answer: 4.5 feet

What common angle do ACE and ACD share?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The answer is the second option, <ACE = <ECA.

This is because C is in the middle of both, so it's referring to the same angle. The other options are all comparing different angles, that aren't congruent, so they're incorrect.
