The answer is 25centimeters. This is the answer because you have to multiply 10cm by 5 years then divide that by 2 since it grows 10 cm every 2 years.
Answer:
x = 18 and y = 6√10
Step-by-step explanation:
First using pythagoras theorem on the small triangle
h² = 6² + 2²
h² = 36 + 4
h² = 40
h= √40
h = √4 * 10
h = 2√10
Using the similarity theorem;
y/2√10 = 6/2
y/√10 = 6
y = 6√10
To get x we will use the pythagoras theorem
y² = x²+6²
(6√10)² = x² + 36
360 = x² + 36
x² = 360 - 36
x² = 324
x = 18
Hence x = 18 and y = 6√10
Answer:
A ≈ 615.75 cm squared
or 616cm squared when rounded off

THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18
hope it helps
