How long is the average piece of string?
Many people will say half double the length or two times the distance from the midpoint to the end but the truth is that the average piece of string is 14 feet long.
A 75 foot tree trunk is cut into three pieces The longest piece is three times the smallest piece and the other piece is 5 feet longer than the smaller piece Find the length of each piece?
Let p be the size of the smallest piece. Then we know that it (p) plus the middle piece (p + 5) and the longest piece (3 x p) adds up to 75. p + (p+5) + 3p = 75 => 2p + 5 + 3p = 75 => 5p = 75 - 5 => 5p = 70 => p = 14 So the smallest piece is p = 14 ft. The middle piece is p + 5 = 19 ft. And the largeset peice is 3p = 42 ft. Adding the sizes to check: 14 + 19 + 42 = 75
Rectangle ABCD has a perimeter of 112 inches If the width is 14 inches what is the length?
Perimeter = width*2 + length *2 112 = 14 * 2 + length * 2 56 = 14 + length length = 56 - 14= 42
