Convert the mixed number to inches. 3 feet 8 inches = 44 inches (12 inches per foot x 3 feet= 36 inches + 8 inches= 44 inches). 44 inches (length each section needs to be) x 4 (number of sections needed)=176 inches (total molding needed). To determine the amount of molding needed in feet, convert 176 inches into feet by dividing 176 inches by 12 inches. You get 14 2/3 feet, so the shortest board length is 15 feet.
Answer:
17. 6
18. 18 (as shown)
19. 10/3 = 3 1/3
20. 20/3 = 6 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
17. For this, you can subtract the given length GB=12 from the length you found for problem 18, BF=18. Doing that tells you FG = 18-12 = 6, as you have marked on the diagram.
19. As with median BF, the point G divides it into two parts that have the ratio 1:2. The distance from G to D is the shorter of the distances, so you have ...
... GD = (1/3) CD = (1/3)·10 = 10/3
... GD = 3 1/3
20. You can subtract GD from CD to get CG, or you can multiply CD by 2/3. The result is the same either way.
... CG = CD -GD = 10 -3 1/3
... CG = 6 2/3

<em>Comment on centroid and median</em>
The centroid (G) divides each median into parts in the ratio 1:2. Hence the shorter of those parts is half the length of the longer one, or 1/3 the total length of the median.
The longer of the parts is double the length of the shorter one, or 2/3 the total length of the median.
Your marking of median BF seems to show an understanding of these relationships. (Total length: 18; length of parts: 6 and 12.)
This is false. Kites can be shaped in many different ways so not all kites are rhombuses. Also, even the kites that look like rhombuses may not be rhombuses. Most kites have 2 pairs of sides with the same length. But, in order to be a rhombus all the sides have to be the same length but not all sides are the same length on a typical kite.
No the signs stay the same
6:18 students in Debra's class own a cellphone. Because there are 24 people in total. Minus the people who already own cellphones. Leaving 18 without cellphones. The ratio is people who have cellphones to people who do not.
24-6=18. Thus, the ratio would be 6:18
