Which of the following tools are you more likely to use when woodworking?
chisel
A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.
If side x = 12cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:
p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 9cm + 9cm = 30cm
The science that deals with motion and the forces that produce motion is called which of the following?
mechanics
Mechanics deals with motion and the forces that produce motion.
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
high-altitude
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Simplify (y + 8)(y + 3)
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:
(y + 8)(y + 3)
(y x y) + (y x 3) + (8 x y) + (8 x 3)
y2 + 3y + 8y + 24
y2 + 11y + 24
In the food chain, bacteria and fungi convert the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. Bacteria and fungi are:
decomposers
Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.
How many hours does it take a car to travel 75 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for time:
time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{75mi}{25mph} \)
3 hours
