In this problem, there are two congruent right triangles: triangle XCA and triangle XBC, where the hypotenuse are XA and XB respectively. Considering triangle XBC, XB = radius = 17, and BC = 30 / 2 = 15. By pythagorean theorem, XC = sqrt(17^2 - 15^2) = sqrt(289 - 225) = sqrt(64) = 8 units.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Whiskers the cat weighs 2 and 2 over 3 kg.piglio weighs 4 kg. How many times as heavy as piglio is whiskers
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Whiskers is two-third times as heavy as piglio is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of whiskers is, W=2\frac{2}{3}\ kg

Weight of piglio is, P=4\ kg

In order to compare their weights, we have to divide both the weights and then express one weight in terms of the other.

Therefore, dividing whiskers weight by piglio's weight, we get:

\frac{W}{P}=2\frac{2}{3}\div 4\\\frac{W}{P}=\frac{8}{3}\div \frac{4}{1}(\textrm{4 can be rewritten as 4/1 in fraction form})

Now, when we divide two fractions, we replace the division sign by multiplication and reverse the second fraction. This gives,

\frac{W}{P}=\frac{8}{3}\times \frac{1}{4}\\\frac{W}{P}=\frac{8\times 1}{3\times 4}\\\frac{W}{P}=\frac{2}{3}

Now, expressing 'W' in terms of 'P', we multiply both sides by 'P. This gives,

W=\frac{2}{3}P

Therefore, the weight of whiskers is two-third times as heavy as piglio is.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

58kg, 70kg and 72kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting weight was 200.

Boy 1- Changed from 200 to 142. 200kg - 142kg= 58 kg

Boy 2- Changed from 142 to 72.  142kg- 72kg = 70kg

Boy 3- Last one on the scale and it showed 72kg so his weight is 72kg
