Which of the following types of saws would you use if you needed to cut the wood quickly and weren't concerned with leaving rough edges?
rip saw
Wood saws are categorized primarily by their teeth. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.
A __________ is driven by a motor and used to shape and form edge contours.
router
A router is a tool that a worker uses to rout (hollow out), shape, or contour an area in relatively hard material like wood or plastic.
Solve for a:
-5a - 3 = \( \frac{a}{-3} \)
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
-5a - 3 = \( \frac{a}{-3} \)
-3 x (-5a - 3) = a
(-3 x -5a) + (-3 x -3) = a
15a + 9 = a
15a + 9 - a = 0
15a - a = -9
14a = -9
a = \( \frac{-9}{14} \)
a = -\(\frac{9}{14}\)
