Diana read 6 English books and 32 French books in 1996.

For given question,

Let the number of English books = x

And the number of French books = y

In 1995 Diana read 10 English books and 7 French books.

⇒ x = 10 and y = 7

In 1996, she read twice as many French books as English books.

So, we get an equation,

⇒ y = 2x

Also, 60% of the books that she read during the 2 years were French

Let m be the total number of books she read in 2 years.

⇒ y = 60 percent of m

⇒ y = 0.6(m)         ............(i)

and x = 0.4(m)

We don't know the exact amount of books read in 1996.

m = 10 + 7 +x +2x

m = 17 + 3x

We can write equation (i) as,

⇒ 0.6(m) = 7 + 2x

⇒ 0.6(17 + 3x) = 7 + 2x

⇒ 10.2 + 1.8x = 7 + 2x

⇒ 10.2 - 7 = 2x - 1.8x

⇒ 3.2 = 0.2x

⇒ 3.2/0.2 = x

⇒ 16 = x

So, she read 16 English books

And 16 × 2 = 32 French books

Total books: 16+32= 48 books in 1996

Therefore, Diana read 6 English books and 32 French books in 1996.

20. what us the area of the figure:
Varvara68 [4.7K]
If the angle in B is 45º, that means the angle in A is also going to be 45º, considering it's a right triangle, so AC and BC are they have the same length.
Then using Pythagoras, you'll get that AC^{2} + BC^{2} equals AB^{2} .
Now, you know that AC=BC and that AB=24.
So you'll get 2AC^{2} =24^2 . You do the square root in both sides and you get that 2AC=24 and AC=12.

Now that you know that both AC and BC equal 12, you can find the area by just multiplying them and then diving them by 2. (The formula for the area of a triangle is half base multiplied by height, and in a right triangle, if a cathetus is the base, the other cathetus<span> will be the height)

And so the area is equal to 72.</span>

Can someone help me with this i have been trying for hours and i actually got the wrong answer so can you help me understand by
kap26 [50]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that FGH is a triangle, which means that...

Angle F + Angle G + Angle H = 180

Start by substituting the given angle measurements into the equation:

4x+2+13x-7+3x+5=180

Combine like terms

20x=180

Divide both sides by 20 to isolate x

x=9

Plug 9 back in for x to solve for each angle

Angle F = 4(9)+2=36+2=38

Angle G = 13(9)-7=117-7=110

Angle H = 3(9)+5=27+5=32
