Using algebra it works out that the lengths are 8.4 feet and 33.6 feet because 4*(8.4) = 33.6 and 8.4+33.6 = 42 feet
They are 11 and 31 feet.
piece a has a greater length than piece b (a>b)
If a piece of wire was cut into 2 pieces in the ratio 7:8 and the shorter piece was 14cm, then the length of the longer piece will 16cm.
Write an equation and solve it. Call the length of the shorter piece "x", in this case, the longer piece is "3x". The sum of the two is equal to 116 inches.
x the length of the shorter piece 3·x the length of the longer piece x + 3·x the length of the whole board = 4·x = 76" x = 76" / 4 = 19.
The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right-angled triangle.You can calculate this in different ways depending on what pieces of information you have.If you have the lengths of the two shorter sides, you can use Pythagoras.Or if you have a side and an angle then you may be required to use Trigonometry.
piece a has a greater length than piece b (a>b)
50" and 10" 60 = 5x + x = 6x; x = 10
Eight longAnswer:Two-by-four is a term applied to lumber with these dimensions (in inches) for its width and depth. The pieces are available in a number of lengths (6', 8', 16') as standard lengths and as shorter and longer pieces on special order.The two-by-four is actually 1 1⁄2 in × 3 1⁄2 in (38 mm × 89 mm).
If a piece of wire was cut into 2 pieces in the ratio 7:8 and the shorter piece was 14cm, then the length of the longer piece will 16cm.
Total length = 16ft Let the longer piece = x ft Let the other piece = (16-x)ft equation, x - 2(16-x) = 1 x - 32 + 2x = 1 3x = 33 x = 11ft 16-x = 5ft Longer piece = 11ft shorter piece = 5ft
Longer: 6.75ft Shorter: 6.25ft
Suppose the shorter piece is x feet long. Then the longer piece is x+1 feet long. The total length of the two pieces is x + (x+1) = 2x+1 feet. So 2x+1 = 9 so 2x = 8 so x = 4' and then the other piece is 5'
Write an equation and solve it. Call the length of the shorter piece "x", in this case, the longer piece is "3x". The sum of the two is equal to 116 inches.

x the length of the shorter piece 3·x the length of the longer piece x + 3·x the length of the whole board = 4·x = 76" x = 76" / 4 = 19.
If you let x equal the short piece then 3x would be the long piece. x + 3x = 24 4x = 24 x = 6 3x = 18 So, the shorter piece would be 6 ft. and the longer piece would be 18 ft.
11 feet! y=2x+3 x+y=15 2x+3+x=15 3x=12 x=4 15-4=11 the two pieces are 4 feet and 11 feet
