You have a piece of wood that is 72 inches long u cut the wood into three pieces the second piece is 6 inches longer than the first piece the third piece is 6 inches longer than the second piece draw a diagram and then draw write and solve an equation to find how to position the posters

Let

x> the length of the first piece

y> the length of the second piece

z> the length of the third piece

we know that

x+y+z=72 > equation 1

y=x+6 > solve for x

x=y-6 > equation 2

z=6+y > equation 3

substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1

[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72

3y=72

y=(72/3)=24 in

Find the value of x

x=y-6 > equation 2

x=24-6=18 in

Find the value of z

z=6+y > equation 3

z=6+24=30 in

therefore

the answer is

the length of the first piece is 18 in

the length of the second piece 24 in

the length of the third piece is 30 in

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
