<u>Answer</u>

y= 105

 

<u>Explanation</u>

X=8

Y=20

So,

x/y = 8/20

      = 2/5

x=(2/5)y

y= (5/2)x

When x=42

y=(5/2)×42

   =105

In this problem, we need to use the concept of proportions. Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal. So, we have two numbers, namely:

x=8 \ and \ y=20

So, the given proportion is:

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{20} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{5}

That is, x-out-of-y is equal to 2-out-of-5

On the other hand, we know that x=42, so by using the previous proportion we have:

\frac{42}{y}=\frac{2}{5} \\ \\ Isolating \ y: \\ \\ y=\frac{42 \times 5}{2} \\ \\ y=\boxed{105}

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 centimeters long. One of the legs of the triangle is 6 centimeters. What is the length
BartSMP [9]

Answer: 12.65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2= c^2

You are given the hypotenuse , which is c and another leg which is either a or b, does not particularly matter- rearrange to find the missing length

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

14^2 - 6^2 = 160

Square root 160 to find the missing length

12.65

Hope this helped :)

Find the distance between each pair of numbers on the number line; then find the coordinate of their midpoint.
quester [9]

Answer:

d = 1 7/24 or 31/24;  midpoint would be half of that,or 31/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Since distance is absolute value, add 2/3 and 5/8 to get the entire distance.  Midpoint is that distance divided by 2.
