96÷2=48
63-48=15

So Sam should give Peter 15 of his stamps so that Peter will have twice as many stamps as him.

Answer:

  • Sam must give Peter <u>10 stamps</u> so that Peter has twice as much as him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the exercise could be done using equations, I will teach you a much simpler method to find the answer to this type of exercise: add the stamps of Sam and Peter:

  • 96 + 63 = 159

Since one must have twice the other, you will have to divide the total value into 3 (then two parts will correspond to Peter and 1 one to Sam)

  •  159/3 = 53

With this value, <u>Sam must have only 53 stamps and give the rest to Peter, and since Sam has 63 stamps, he will have to give Peter 10, with which Peter will have 106 stamps, which is double 53</u>.

When this situation is drawn out, it forms a right triangle (as shown in the attached image). The sides that are given are the two legs of the triangle. The side that is missing is the hypotenuse. The missing side can be found using the pythagorean theorem: a^{2} +  b^{2} =  c^{2}

A = 20 
B= 4
C = ?

This process is shown in the attached image. The length of the missing side (ladder) rounded to the nearest hundredth is 20.40ft^{2}

What is the total of your parents’ monthly fixed expenses?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Option A. $1713.98

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to calculate your parents' monthly fixed expenses by the given expenses list.

Rent = $998.50

Groceries ( bi-weekly ) = $195.40 Monthly groceries = (195.40×2)

Charge card = $258.90

Cell phone = $65.78

Name brand Khakis for work (store brand optional ) = $34.95

Total expenses are 998.50 + (195.40×2) + 258.90 + 65.78

= $1713.98

Option A. $1713.98

3. The area of a rectangular deck, in square meters, is given by the polynomial 40p2 + 24p.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Length = 5p + 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 40p² + 24p

Width = 8p

Solving for the length of deck

Given that the deck is rectangular in shape.

The area will be calculated as thus;

Area = Length * Width

Substitute 40p² + 24p and 8p for Area and Width respectively

The formula becomes

40p² + 24p = Length * 8p

Factorize both sides

p(40p + 24) = Length * 8 * p

Divide both sides by P

40p + 24 = Length * 8

Factorize both sides, again

8(5p + 3) = Length * 8

Multiply both sides by ⅛

⅛ * 8(5p + 3) = Length * 8 * ⅛

5p + 3 = Length

Length = 5p + 3

Solving for the perimeter of the deck

The perimeter of the deck is calculated as thus

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Substitute 5p + 3 and 8p for Length and Width, respectively.

Perimeter = 2(5p + 3 + 8p)

Perimeter = 2(5p + 8p + 3)

Perimeter = 2(13p + 3)

Open bracket

Perimeter = 2 * 13p + 2 * 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Let ∠D be an acute angle such that cosD=0.33. Use a calculator to approximate the measure of ∠D to the nearest tenth of a degree
kotegsom [21]

To approximate the measure of angle D, we will need to use the inverse cosine function on our calculator. All calculators vary, so I am not sure where you would find the button for it on your calculator. However, I know many calculators have it so you click the second button, then cos.

cos(D) = 0.33

D = cos^-1 (0.33)

D = 70.7 degrees

Hope this helps!! :)
