Price of 12 pounds of trail mix = 12 x $4.20
= $50.40
Let the number of pounds of skittles and trail mix be x,
number of pounds of skittles = 12 - x
price of pounds of skittles = $16.70(12 - x)
= $200.40 - 16.7x
total amount = 10.93x
200.40 - 16.7x + 50.40 = 10.93x
250.80 = 27.63x
x = 10 (nearest whole number)
the minimum number of pounds of skittles is 10.

Let x and y be your two consecutive whole numbers

x < sqrt(142) < y
x^2 < 142 < y

So, we are looking for x and y such that x^2 < 142 and y^2 > 142.

The closest squared number to 142 is 144 = 12^2.
Next is 11^2 = 121.

11 and 12 are consecutive.

11^2 = 121 < 142 < 144 = 12^2

Thus, 11 and 12 are your numbers

Stephen is making a map of his neighborhood. He knows the following information
Kitty [74]
The question is missing the image given to go along with it, corresponding to the map being created. The image is attached to this answer.

The side angle side (SAS) similarity theorem states that two triangles with congruent angles and sides with identical ratios then the two triangles are similar. We have various points on the map, Home (H), Park (P), Friends house (F) and Grocery store (G).

In this example, we know the angle at the point Home on the map, is shared between the two triangles. If these two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the distances HF/HG = HP/HB. We know all of these values except for the HB which is the distance from home to the bus stop. But if these triangles are similar, we can solve for that distance.

15/9 = 10/HB
HB = 90/15
HB = 6 blocks.

To determine if the triangles are similar we need to know the distance from home to the bus stop, and if these are indeed similar, that distance must be 6 blocks.

kap26 [50]
Its not A. because , 98^2 = 9,604
Its not B. because , 13^2 = 169
Its for sure not C. because, 49^4 = 5,764,801
It is most likey, D. because 14^2 = 196
Option: D 14^2 would most likely be your answer

Reason , because 14(14) = 196 = 14^2
