The length of a piece of wood is 2/3 of a yard. If it is cut into 10 equal pieces, how long will each piece be?

9514 1404 393

  2.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A yard is 36 inches, so 2/3 yard is (2/3)(36) = 24 inches.

Each piece will be 1/10 of that length, so will be 24/10 = 2.4 inches.

Each piece will be 2.4 inches long.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

c) yes, because of asa or aas
