When 2 pieces of rope are placed end to end they measure 40 meters in length when the 2 pieces are laid side by side one is 10 meters longer than the other how long is each piece of rope

15 meters and 25 meters long

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 pieces of rope.

Total length of both---> 40 meters

Length of piece 1 > x

Length of piece 2 > x + 10

Find the value of x.

Form an equation > Length of piece 1 + length of piece 2 = total length

x + (x + 10) = 40

2x + 10 = 40

2x = 30

x = 15

Length of piece 1 --> x ---> 15

Length of piece 2 --> x + 10 > 15 + 10 = 25

Therefore, one piece is 15 meters long and the other piece is 25 meters long.

the answer is 0.071

good luck! : d

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
