A carpenter needs three pieces of wood to complete a furniture. The longest piece must be twice the length of the middle-sized piece. The shortest piece must be 2 in. Shorter than the middle-sized piece. If a board 70 in. Long is to be used, then find the length of each piece.

Shortest piece = 16 in.

Middle piece = 18 in.

Longest pice = 36 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the shortest piece.

as per given, length of the middle piece = x+2

Length of the longest piece=2(x+2)

Total length = 70 in.

i.e.

Shortest piece = 16 in.

Middle piece = 18 in.

Longest pice = 2(18) in.

= 36 in.

answer

false

explanation

these practices describe the manner the land use outcome is attained. land management methods implemented by corporations are a mandatory because they are a driver for better land use results economically, socially and environmentally. corporations are required to understand the connection between land use , and land management practices to support sustainable land use policies

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
