Step One
======
Find the length of FO (see below)

All of the triangles are equilateral triangles. Label the center as O
FO = FE = sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)

Step Two
======
Drop a perpendicular bisector from O to the midpoint of FE. Label the midpoint as J. Find OJ

Sure the Pythagorean Theorem. Remember that OJ is a perpendicular bisector.

FO^2 = FJ^2 + OJ^2
FO = sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)
FJ = 1/2 [(sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)] \
OJ = ??

[Sqrt(5) + sqrt(2)]^2 = [1/2(sqrt(5) + sqrt(2) ] ^2 + OJ^2
5 + 2 + 2*sqrt(10) = [1/4 (5 + 2 + 2*sqrt(10) + OJ^2
7 + 2sqrt(10) = 1/4 (7 + 2sqrt(10)) + OJ^2 Multiply through by 4
28 + 8* sqrt(10) = 7 + 2sqrt(10) + 4 OJ^2 Subtract 7 + 2sqrt From both sides
21 + 6 sqrt(10) = 4OJ^2 Divide both sides by 4
21/4 + 6/4* sqrt(10) = OJ^2
21/4 + 3/2 * sqrt(10) = OJ^2 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt OJ^2 = sqrt(21/4 + 3/2 sqrt(10) )
OJ = sqrt(21/4 + 3/2 sqrt(10) )

Step three
find h
h = 2 * OJ
h = 2* sqrt(21/4 + 3/2 sqrt(10) ) <<<<<< answer.

Mary has twice as many pencils as she has pens. Tom borrows a pen. Now, Mary has ten less pens than pencils. How many pencils do

I am Lyosha [343]

X - the number of pencils
y - the number of pens

She has twice as many pencils as she has pens.
$x=2y$

Tom borrows a pen, so she has y-1 pens. Now she has ten less pens than pencils.
$x-10=y-1 \\
x=y-1+10 \\
x=y+9$

Set 2y and y+9 equal to each other:
$2y=y+9 \\
2y-y=9 \\
y=9$
She has 9 pens.

What is the least common denominator for adding the fractions 4/15, 1/12, and 3/8

il63 [147K]

I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)

so we find the factors and include all of them so like this

15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2

so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120

the LCM is 120

so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120

add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120
