the diameter is the diaagonal of the squar which also makes a right triangle where the diagnal is the hypotnuse
and since it is a square
the legs are equal measure
a^2+b^2=c^2
where legs legnth a and b an hypotnuse legnth c
c=7
a=b
a^2+a^2=7^2
2a^2=49
divide by 2 both sides
a^2=19.5
sqrt both sides
a=√19.5
the legnth of 1 side is √19.5 max or aprox 4.41588 inches
So, the formula for finding the midpoint of a segment given the coordinates of its endpoints is:
((x1+ x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2 {Average of the x coordinates, average of the y coordinates}.
For this problem we know the coordinates of the midpoint along with one of the endpoints.
So the x coordinate of the midpoint (9) must equal (12 + x2)/2.
That is: 9 = (12 + x2)/2 Solve for x2. Follow a similar pattern to find the y coordinate of the unknown endpoint.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
A grocer has 18 kg of black tea worth $3.5 per kg. She wants to mix it with green tea worth $2.6 per kg to sell the mixture at $2.9 per kg. How much of green tea should she use?
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of the green tea used be x kg.
From the question:
We have:
18 kg of black tea at $ 3.5 per kg. Thus total cost of black tea is 18 x 3.5 = $ 63
Cost of green tea is $2.6 per kg. Total cost of green tea is 2.6 * x = $2.6x
Total weight of the mixture is 18 + x kg.
Total cost of the mixture is = $2.9 (18 + x)
Thus,
Total cost of black tea + total cost of green tea = Total cost of the mixture
$63 + $2.6 x = $2.9 (18 + x)
$63 + $2.6x = $52.2 + $2.9x
63 – 52.2 = 0.3 x
10.8 = 0.3 x
x = 10.8/0.3
x = 36
36 kg of green tea is needed
