[5(14-2)^2]/2=
(5•12^2)/2=
5•144/2=
5•72=
720/2= 360
Answer:
Option (2).
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question,
ΔLMN is a right triangle with base LM = 3a units
Hypotenuse MN = 5a
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔLMN,
MN² = LM² + NM²
(5a)² = (3a)² + MN²
25a² - 9a² = MN²
MN = √16a²
MN = 4a
Therefore, vertices of the triangle will be L(0, 0), M(3a, 0) and N(0, 4a).
Option (2) will be the answer.
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
