Make 2 5/8 an improper fraction which is 21/8 then turn 3/4 by multiping by 2 to get 6/8. Subtract 21/8 from 6/8 which equals to 15/8 or 1 7/8
No, it isn't a right triangle.
Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.
The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:
(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)
16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find
Cross-multiply:
16x = 48
x = 3
The answer is thus 3 metres.
Answer:
1st: 3*root6 + 5
2nd: 35*root2 + 115
3rd: 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18
4th: 17*root6 - 38
5th: 13*root10 - 42
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify these expressions we need to use the distributive property:
(a + b) * (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
So simplifying each expression, we have:
1st.
(2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)
= 4*root6 - 2*2 + 2*3 - root6
= 3*root6 - 4 + 9
= 3*root6 + 5
2nd.
(root 5 + 2 root 10) (3 root 5 + root 10)
= 3 * 5 + root50 + 6*root50 + 2*10
= 15 + 5*root2 + 30*root2 + 100
= 35*root2 + 115
3rd.
(4 root 6 - 3 root 3) (2 root 3 - 5)
= 8*root18 - 20*root6 - 6*3 + 15root3
= 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18
4rd.
(6 root 3 - 5 root 2 ) (2 root 2 - root 3)
= 12*root6 - 6*3 - 10*2 + 5*root6
= 17*root6 - 18 - 20
= 17*root6 - 38
5th.
(root 10 - 3 ) ( 4 - 3 root 10)
= 4*root10 - 3*10 - 12 + 9*root10
= 13*root10 - 30 - 12
= 13*root10 - 42
