A 24 foot long board is cut into two pieces the long piece is three times the length of the short piece find the lengths of the 2 pieces?
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.
If a 19 foot board is cut into two pieces One piece is 3 feet longer than the other How long are the pieces?
Let x= one boardlet x+3= second boardx+x+3=192x=16x=8 and x+3=11

If a life-size chess board is 12.2 ft by 12.2 ft then what is the total area of the chess board?
To find the area, we multiply the lengths of the sides together. As your board is 12.2 feet by 12.2 feet, the area will be 12.2 x 12.2 feet squared, or 148.84 square feet.

A 42 foot board is cut into two pieces. Four times the shorter piece is equal to the sum of the longer piece and thirteen. Find the lengths of both pieces.?
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
A 76-inch board is cut into two pieces One piece is three times the length of the other Find the lengths of the two pieces. The short piece is how many inches long?
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.
A 24 foot long board is cut into two pieces the long piece is three times the length of the short piece find the lengths of the 2 pieces?
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.
A 27 foot board is cut into two pieces with lengths in ratio 4 5 what is the length of the longer piece?
Length of the longer piece is 5/9 of 27 feet. So, Length of longer piece = {5/(4+5)}x27 = {5/9}x27 = 15 feet.

Mike has three pieces of wood Board A is 4 inches long board B is 7 inches long and board C is 13 inches long If the full length of each board is used can the three pieces of wood be placed toget?
If the question means "Can the three pieces of wood be placed together to form a triangle", which I suspect it does, the answer is No. In a triangle, any two sides must be longer than the other. 4 + 7 is not longer than 13, so they could not meet is one was joined to a different end of the 13 inch board.

What is the most appropriate measure for the length of a skateboard?
A standard board is usally 31-33" long. Usally the shorter the skater the shorter the board. The lenght of a skateboard is personal preference. Over time a skater will find out what size board works best for them. It is kinda hard to go wrong with length any standard board is appropriate.
How big is a snowboarding bag size 156?
156cm long, give or take (material might make it longer overall). It was meant for a board that is 156cm or shorter.
A board 1.2m long is cut so the length of the longer piece is 15cm longer than twice the length of shorter piece.How long is the shorter piece?
1.2 m = 120 cm Let the shorter piece be x, then the longer piece is 2x + 15. So we have: x + 2x + 15 = 120 3x + 15 = 120 subtract 15 to both sides 3x = 105 divide by 3 to both sides x = 35 Thus the shorter piece is 35 cm.
Can you slide on the pintail 37 by original?
Yes, you can slide any board. The fact that it is a pintail does not make it any easier or harder to slide. However, the length of your board will affect how it slides. Because you have a shorter than average sized longboard, (average being about 42") the board will break free from the road and go into a slide fairly easily. However you will not have as much control in your slide as you would if you had a longer board. Shorter boards break free more easily than longer boards, but are more difficult to control in a slide. Longer Boards do not break free as easily, but once they do they make for a more predictable and controllable slide.
