You buy 6 apples for $33. WHat is the cost of 10 pounds of apples

Mariana [72]

10 lbs of apples will cost $55

How? Well...

First, you would need to find the unit rate, which is 5.5
You find the unit rate by simply dividing 33 by 6. Next, after you found your unit rate, you're going to multiply that by 10. We now know that 10 x 5.5= 55. Therefore, you will need $55 for 10 lbs of apples.

an isosceles triangle has congruent sides of 20cm. the base is 10cm. find the height of the triangle.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A_\triangle=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

<em>b</em><em> - base</em>

<em>h</em><em> - height</em>

<em />

We need a length of a height.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$

We have:

$leg=5,\ leg=h,\ hypotenuse=20$

Substitute:

$5^2+h^2=20^2$

$25+h^2=400$ <em>subtract 25 from both sides</em>

$h^2=375\to h=\sqrt{375}\\\\h=\sqrt{(25)(15)}\\\\h=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{15}\\\\h=5\sqrt{15}\ cm$

Calculate the area:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{(10)(5\sqrt{15})}{2}=\dfrac{50\sqrt{15}}{2}=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2$

Find x and y ! <br><br> pls help giving 50 points !!

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = 20°

x = 35°

Explanation:

Equation's:

1) 2y + x + 105° = 180°

2) 3x + x + 2y = 180°

Make y subject in equation 2

3x + x + 2y = 180

4x + 2y = 180

2y = 180 - 4x

y = 90 - 2x

Insert this into equation 1

2(90 - 2x) + x + 105° = 180°

180 - 4x + x + 105 = 180

-3x = -105

x = 35°

Find value of y

y = 90 - 2x

y = 90 - 2(35)

y = 20°

The volume, V, of any cube with a side length, s. can be determined using the forma

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

V=12.167

Step-by-step explanation:

V=s^3

V=2.3x2.3x2.3

V=12.167

Since it is cubic centimeters, then it is written as 12.167cm^2
