stephen and bridget win some money and share it in the ratio 5:2. stephen gets £65. how much does bridget get

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Bridget will get the amount as £26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount Stephen gets = £65

Amount shared in ratio = 5:2

We need to find the amount Bridget gets.

Solution:

Let the common factor in the ratio be $'x'$ .

Amount Stephen gets = $5x$

Amount Bridget gets = $2x$

But we know that;

Amount Stephen gets = £65

so we can say that;

$5x=65$

Now dividing both side by 5 we get;

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{65}{5}\\\\x=13$

So now we get;

Amount Bridget gets = $2x=2\times 13 = \£26$

Hence Bridget will get the amount as £26.

My friend needed help with this and I found the height through the theorem but can't figure out how to get the base of the overa

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21

Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:

... AC/AD = AB/AC

... AB = AC²/AD

... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle

_____

Then the area (A) is ...

... A = (1/2)bh

... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units

_____

As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...

... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB

You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.

Sketch feda = 4pie/3 in standard position

rewona [7]

Since 4pi/3 = 3pi/3 + pi/3 = pi + pi/3, that means it goes past the angle of pi (the negative x-axis), and an additional pi/3 radians. So this gives you a diagonal line that passes through the origin, from the third quadrant through to the first quadrant, and makes an angle of 60 degrees with the negative x-axis.

Robert makes 50 litres of green paint by mixing litres of yellow paint and litres of blue paint in the ratio 2:3.

podryga [215]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Cost of each liter of yellow paint:

Yellow paint is sold in 5 litre tins and ach tin costs £26, thus the cost of one liter is £26 / 5 liters = £5.2 per liter.

2. Cost of each liter of blue paint:

Blue paint is sold in 10 litre tins and each tin costs £48, thus the cost of one liter of blue paint is £48 / 10 liters = £4.8 per liter

3. Cost of each liter of green paint.

Green paint is made by mixing yellow paint and blue paint in the ratio 2:3

Thus, 5 liters of green paint will cost:

2 liters yellow paint: 2 liter × £5.2 / liter = £10.4

3 liters blue paint: 3 liter × £4.8 / liter = £14.4

========== ========

5 liters green paint: 5 liter £24.8

Cost of one liter of gree paint: £24.8 / 5 liter = £4.96 / liter

4. Profit

Price of each liter of green paint: £66.96 / 10 liters = £6.696 / liter = £6.70 / liter

Profit per liter = price per liter - cost per liter = £6.70/liter - £4.96 / liter = £1.74 / liter

Percentage profit = profit per liter / cost per liter × 100

Percentage profit = (£1.74 / liter) / (£4.96/liter) × 100 = 35.08% = 35%
