Square. Because there is 2 right angles there are only 4 sides all which are perpendicular
So it wants you to write two equations, one for the number of fruit and another for the money spent. gather your important information first:
20 fruits for $11.50
apples cost $0.50
bananas cost $0.75
let's do the cost equation first. it's $0.50 per apple, so 0.50a, and $0.75 per banana, so 0.75b. the total cost is $11.50. put all of this information together:
0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50 ... so, the cost of apples bought plus the cost of bananas bought equals 11.50
note what your variables stand for. a represents the number of apples, b represents the number of bananas. to write an equation for how many fruits bought, you simply have to add these two and set them equal to 20 (the total number of fruits bought).
a + b = 20
and your other equation
0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50
these are your two equations. to solve the system of equations, you first want to get one variable alone; the first equation will be easier.
a + b = 20
a = 20 - b
now take this equation and plug it into the second equation.
0.50(20 - b) + 0.75b = 11.50 ... you'll notice that you only have one variable left: b. solve for it. the first step is to distribute 0.50 to the parentheses
10 - 0.50b + 0.75b = 11.50 ... combine like terms
10 + 0.25b = 11.50 ... subtract 10
0.25b = 1.5 ... divide by 0.25
b = 6
6 bananas were purchased. plug this back into an equation to find out how many apples were purchased.
a + 6 = 20 ... subtract 6
a = 14
14 apples and 6 bananas were bought.
A) Divide the total height by the average height:
26.4 / 1.2 = 22 total boys.
B) Divide total feet by total time:
440 feet / 20 seconds = 22 feet per second.\
Because the submarine is diving the rate would become negative 22 feet per second.
If you would like to know which is a function equivalent to f(x) = 4 * (1.8)^(2x), you can calculate this using the following steps:
f(x) = 4 * (1.8)^(2x)<span>
f(x) = 4 * 3.24^x
f(x) = 4 * (3.24)^x
The correct result would be </span><span>f(x) = 4(3.24)x.</span>
First of all, sorry for not including a picture - I hope I can describe this well enough:
Call the centre of the circle O, the chord AB (touching the circumference at A and B) and the midpoint of AB M. From circle theorems, we know that a radius, passing through the midpoint of a chord, will be perpendicular to it. Therefore we have a right-angled triangle OMA, with the hypotenuse OA forming the radius of length 13in, the line OM being 5in as stated in the question, and the side AM being an unknown.
By Pythagoras' theorem, AM = <span>√(13^2 - 5^2) = 12in (it's a 5,12,13 Triple)
Because M is the midpoint of AB, this value needs to be doubled to get the length of AB as 24in. One inch is 2.54cm (3sf), so the length of the chord is:
24 * 2.54 = 60.96cm, which rounds to 61.0cm (3sf)
I hope this helps
