The front of the base is 1.25 ft and the total base is 14.05 ft.

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

A right triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The side of a right angle triangle can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The sides CD and BD can be found using similar triangle principle.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

Therefore, the following proportion can be established as follows;

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{AC}{CD}

Hence,

\frac{12.8}{4}=\frac{4}{CD}

cross multiply

4 × 4 = 12.8 CD

16 = 12.8CD

divide both sides by 12.8

CD = 16 / 12.8

CD = 1.25 ft

BD = 1.25 + 12.8 = 14.05 ft

Therefore, the front of the base is 1.25 ft and the total base is 14.05 ft.

Clay wrote three checks of amount = 35 dollar each

The total amount clay is planning to withdraw through check is equal to

3 * 35\\= 105

On this Clay further withdraws an amount of $ 100

She then make a deposit of $ 96

The net change in the account is equal to

Deposits - withdrawals

96 - 100 -105 \\= -109

The balance in the account has fallen by $ 109

Jack has twice as many dimes as quarters. If the total value of the coins is $6.30, how many dimes does he have?
ycow [4]

Answer:

Number of dimes = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Worth of coins = $6.30 = 6.30 * 100 = 630 cents

Let,

x be the number of dimes

y be the number of quarters

According to given statement;

x = 2y    Eqn 1

10x+25y = 630    Eqn 2

Putting x = 2y in Eqn 2

10(2y) + 25y = 630

20y + 25y = 630

45y = 630

Dividing both sides by 45

\frac{45y}{45}=\frac{630}{45}\\y=14

Putting y=14 in Eqn 1

x = 2(14)

x = 28

Hence,

Number of dimes = 28

Jason wants to walk the shortest distance to get from the parking lot to the beach. a.How far is the spot on the beach from the
lara31 [8.8K]

3 RIGHT TRIANGLES

1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium and small.

<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x

Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m

32/x = x/18

32*18 = x*x

576 = x²

√576 = √x²

24 = x    

Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.

<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>

Use Pythagorean theorem:

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ; hypotenuse = ?

32²+ 24² = c²

1024 + 576 = c²

1600 = c²

√1600 = √c²

40 m = c

Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.
