A cable 52.6 meters long is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 27.2 meters longer than the other. Find the length of each piece of cable. Type the product of the lengths of the two pieces, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Piece1:  12.7 meters

Piece2:  39.9 meters

Product of the two to nearest tenth: 506.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Piece1:   x

Piece2:  x + 27.2

x + x + 27.2 = 52.6

2x + 27.2 = 52.6

2x = 25.4

x = 12.7

Piece1:   12.7

Piece2:  12.7 + 27.2 = 39.9

Product of the two pieces:

12.7 * 39.9 = 506.73

step-by-step explanation:

its 512 because parenthesis and to the 2nd power is 512 so it will be 512
