The exact value of the y in the similar right triangle is 2.2360679775 units

<h3 /><h3>How to find the side of a triangle?</h3>

The triangles are similar.

Similar triangles have corresponding sides of equal ratio.

The corresponding angles of similar triangle are equal.

Therefore, using similar ratio,

y / 5 = 1 / y

cross multiply

y × y = 5 × 1

y² = 5

square root both sides

y = √5

Therefore,

y = 2.2360679775 units

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Observe the small triangle at the right. The smallest side is one.

The hypotenuse is y

In the largest tringle, the hypotenuse is 5

The smallest side is y

You can set up a ratio for this situation

Equation

smallest side -  smallest triangle       Largrest triangel -- largest side

============================         =========================

hypotenuse - smallest triangle            hypotenuse -- largest triangle

1/y = y / 5                   Cross Multiply

Solution

y^2 = 1*5                    Take the square root of both sides.

√y^2 = √5

y = √5

or

y =

Complete the table so that the cost per banana remains the same.
Aneli [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of banana    Cost      Unit price

4                            2            0.50

6                            3             0.50

7                           3.5           0.50

20                         10            0.50

20                          10             0.50

33                          16.50        0.50

Cost = No of banana x unit price

Cost = 4 x 0.50 = 2

Cost = 6 x 0.50 = 3

Cost = 7 x 0.50 = 3.50

Cost = 20 x 0.50 = 10

No of banana = Cost / Unit price

No of banana = 10 / 0.50 = 20

No of banana = 16.50 / 0.50 = 33

Help!!! Assignment due in 20 minutes!!
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be 2 because it reduces to the same system of equations as the original, which I knew since the first equation was the same and if you divide everything in the second by 2, you'll get 3x-y=8. :)

4-Fui al supermercado y había un descuento del 15% en el total de la compra, si pagaba en efectivo. Gasté $ 2.400. ¿Qué cantidad
Grace [21]

Answer:

$2.040

Step-by-step explanation:

Para calcular la cantidad que fue abonada en realidad, debes encontrar el valor del descuento calculando el 15% del valor total de la compra y este resultado se debe restar del total:

$2.400*15%= $360

$2.400-$360= $2.040

De acuerdo a esto, la cantidad abonada en realidad es: $2.040.
