Well that's quite easy. There is a short cut. So 12 divided by 2 is 4. Then 6 divided by 2 is 3. There is a thing called a Pythagorean Triple. And the first one is 3,4 (which is the missing side) and 5. That is the most commonly used set and so are the number's multiples. Therefore the missing leg's length is 4 centimeters.

levacccp [35]
Tan(3x) = 1
3x = arctan(1) = pi/4, -3pi/4
x = (pi/4)/3 = pi/12 or (-3pi/4)/3 = -pi/4
Therefore, x = pi/12 or -pi/4

A worker at a mill is loading 10-lb bags of flour into boxes to deliver to a local warehouse. Each box holds 4 bags of flour. If
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: 100 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since 1 ton = 2,000 lbs

We have to divide 10lbs by 2000 to convert the lbs in tons.

1t/2000lb = xt / 10lb

10 /2000=0.005

0.005 ton = 10 lbs (1 bag)

Each box has 4 bags

0.005 ton x 4 = 0.02 ton

So each box weights 0.02 ton

Since we need 2 tons.

Using proportions:

0.02t/1 box= 2 t / x boxes

x = 2 / (0.02/1)

x = 100 boxes  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
