A bookcase has a mass of 30 kilograms. A book in the bookcase has a mass of 400 grams. How many books of the same mass would it
1 answer:
Answer: OPTION A
Step-by-step explanation:
You can convert 30 kilograms to grams (), then:
Then, if a book in the bookcase has a mass of 400 grams and you need to find the number of books of the same mass that would take to equal the mass of the bookcase, you can divide the weight of the bookcase (in grams) by the weigth of one of these books.
Therefore:

We know that
Perimeter=2AB+2AD=34 in-----> AB+AD=17-----> AB=17-AD-----> equation 1
MA=MD
MA²=AB²+(AD/2)²
for the triangle AMD
AD²=[MA²+MD²]----> AD²=2*[MA²]----> AD²=2*[AB²+(AD/2)²]---> equation 2
Perimeter=2AB+2AD=34 in-----> AB+AD=17-----> AB=17-AD-----> equation 1
MA=MD
MA²=AB²+(AD/2)²
for the triangle AMD
AD²=[MA²+MD²]----> AD²=2*[MA²]----> AD²=2*[AB²+(AD/2)²]---> equation 2
I substitute 1 in 2
AD²=2*[(17-AD)²+(AD/2)²]----> AD²=2*[289-34AD+AD²+0.25AD²]
AD²=578-68AD+2.50AD²--------> 1.50AD²-68AD+578
1.50AD²-68AD+578=0
using a graph tool to solve the quadratic equation
see the attached figure
AD1=11.33 in
AD2=34 in----------is not solution because (AB+AD=17)
Solution is AD=11.33 in
AB=17-11.33--------> 17-11.33-----> AB=5.67 in
the answer is
AD=11.33 in
<span>AB=5.67 in</span>
