A 155 inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is four times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece

31 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x inches.

Length of the longer piece= 4x inches

Total length= 155 in

4x +x= 155

5x= 155

x= 155 ÷5

x= 31

∴ The length of the shorter piece is 31 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm
