The length of a rectangular board is 10 cm longer than its with. the width of the board is 26cm. the board is cut into 9 equal pieces. what is the area of each piece? what are the possible dimensions of each piece?

26 cm × 4 cm or

36 cm × 2.89 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the board is shown in the attached photo

Width of the rectangular board is given as 26 cm

The length of a rectangular board is 10 cm longer than its with. This means that

Length of rectangular board = 26 +10 = 36 cm.

Area of rectangular board = length × width. It becomes

36 × 26 = 936cm^2

The board is cut into 9 equal pieces. This means that the area of each piece would be the area of the board divided by 9. It becomes

936 /9 = 104cm^2

The dimensions of the piece would be

Since area of each piece is 104 cm^2 and the width of the bigger board still corresponds to one side of each piece, the other side of each piece will be 104 /26 = 4 cm

Also, the board could have been cut along the length such that one side of the cut piece corresponds to the length of the original board (36 cm)

and the other side becomes

104 /36 = 2.89 cm

The possible dimensions are

26 cm × 4 cm or

36 cm × 2.89 cm

answer: 2530

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
