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 =

A truck that can carry no more than 6600 lbs is being used to transport refrigerators and upright pianos. each refrigerator weig
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

(a). 300r + 425p ≤ 6,600

(b). No, it’s not considered overweight

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to write an equation that shows the number of refrigerators and pianos the truck could carry.

Let the number of refrigerators be r and the number of pianos be p

By using their individual weights, the equation is as follows;

300r + 425p ≤ 6,600

To the second question, we want to consider if 10 refrigerators and 8 pianos are overload.

To get this, we simply multiply the number of each by their individual weights;

That would be;

300(10) + 425(8) = 3000 + 3,400 = 6,400 lbs

This is not considered overweight as it is less than 6,600 lbs
