The top surface of a desk has a length of 5.6 ft and the length is 4 times its width what is the width of the desk

Mathematics

Answer:

<u>The width of the top surface of the desk is 1.4 feet.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Length of the top surface of a desk = 5.6 feet

Width of the top surface of a desk= x

2. Let's find the width of the top surface of the desk

Length of the top surface of a desk = Four times the width

5.6 = 4x

5.6/4 = 4x/4 (Dividing by 4 at both sides)

1.4 = x

<u>The width of the top surface of the desk is 1.4 feet.</u>

There are 4 quarters in 1 dollar the total number of dollars is a function of the number of quarters does this situation represe
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

sample answer:   If you make a table of values, you can see that 4 quarters equal 1 dollar and 8 quarters equal 2 dollars. If you graph the data, you will see a straight line. Therefore, this situation represents a linear function with a constant rate of change of 1/4

Which oh the following are among the five basic postulates of Euclidean geometry
igomit [66]

1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.

2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.

3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.

4. All right angles are congruent.

5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.

If it took Mark 45 minutes to get to work and 35 minutes to get home, how long did he spend travelling to and from work?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Mark spent a total of 80 minutes or 1 hour and 20 minutes traveling to and from work.

45 minutes + 35 minutes = 80 minutes

There are 60 minutes per hour, so their would 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Angelique had 20 tokens to use for games at the arcade. She lost some of them. Her dad tripled the tokens she had left. Angeliqu
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:  Both the expressions are exactly same . Both are representing the number of tokens she has now.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of tokens Angelique has= 20

Since, she lost some of them, let the number of lost tokens be t.

Then, The remaining  tokens she has = 20-t

Then her father triples the tokens she has.

now, the number of token she has=3(20-t)....>Angelique's expression

By using distributive property,

The number of token she has=3\times20-3t

⇒The number of token she has=60-3t...> Dante's expressions

Hence, both are the same expressions. Both are representing the number of tokens she has now.

Suppose triangle TIP and triangle TOP are isosceles triangles. Also suppose that TI=5, PI=7, and PO=11. What are all the possibl
taurus [48]
<h3>Two answers: 5, 7</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

A drawing may be helpful to see what's going on. Check out the diagram below. This is one way of drawing out the two triangles. The locations of the points don't really matter, and neither does the the orientation of how you rotate things. What does matter is we have the right points connected to form the segments mentioned.

----------

For now, focus on triangle TIP only. In order to have this be isosceles, we must make TP = 5 or TP = 7.

If TP = 5, then it's the same length as TI.

If TP = 7, then it's the same length as PI.

In either case, we have exactly two sides the same length (the other side different) which is what it means for a triangle to be isosceles.

----------

Let's consider triangle TOP. For it to be isosceles, we must have two sides the same length. We already locked in TP to be either 5 or 7 in the previous section above. So there's no way that TP could be 11 units long to match up with PO = 11.

If TP = 5, then OT must also be 5 units long so that triangle TOP is isosceles.

If TP = 7, then OT = 7 for similar reasoning.

Either way, TP only has two choices on what it could be.

----------

In short, we basically just write the first two values given to us to get the two triangles to be isosceles. We can't use TP = 11 as it would make triangle TIP to be scalene (all sides are different lengths).
