Short leg = 18 Long leg= 24 Hypotenuse= 30 My calculations were simple trial and error. I started with a trial of 10 for the short leg to begin with, averaging and estimating the appropriate proportions based off 6 additional increments. Sorry I don't have an algebraic method for you. Hope this has helped somewhat :)

Let n be a positive integer and define [n] to be the set of the first n positive integers. That is, [n] = {1, 2, 3, . . . , n}.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: There are 2^{n-1} ways of doing this

Hi!

To solve this problem we can think in term of binary numbers. Let's start with an example:

n=5,  A = {1, 2 ,3},  B = {4,5}

We can think of A as 11100, number 1 meaning "this element is in A" and number 0 meaning "this element is not in A"

And we can think of B as 00011.

Thinking like this, the empty set is 00000, and [n] =11111 (this is the case A=empty set, B=[n])

This representation is a 5 digit binary number. There are 2^5 of these numbers. Each one of this is a possible selection of A and B. But there are repetitions: 11100 is the same selection as 00011. So we have to divide by two. The total number of ways of selecting A and B is the 2^{5-1} = 2^4.

This can be easily generalized to n bits.

99 % of the trees in our neighborhood are eucalyptus trees. The town planning commission wants to get rid of some of these trees
Brut [27]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of trees be T and suppose that this is made up of eucalyptus trees E and other kinds of trees, O.

Then E+O=T, and since 99% of the trees are eucalyptus trees, EE+O=0.99.

Therefore

0.99E+0.99O=E

0.01E=0.99O

E=99O.

Suppose we reduce the number of eucalyptus trees by some amount x and that the remaining number of eucalyptus trees are now 98% of the total trees.

Then we would have E−x(E−x)+O=0.98.

Therefore,

0.02(E−x)=0.98O

0.02E−0.02x=0.98O

0.02x=0.02E−0.98O

x=E−50(0.98)O

x=E−49O

x=E−49(E99)

x=5099E≈0.505050...×E.

So we end up removing a little over half of the eucalyptus trees. EDIT: Forgot to mention - removing 50.505050...% of the eucalyptus trees means that we are removing 0.50505050....×0.99T which is 0.5T or half the trees in the neighborhood.

One exterior angle of a regular pentagon has a measure of (2x). What is the value of x?
777dan777 [17]

x = 36

pentagon has 5 sides . The formula n/360 gives you the measure of each angle in a regular polygon. So in this case n ( stands for number of sides) is 5. Sum of exterior angle of a any polygon is 360. The measure of 1 exterior angle is given. It is 2x.

Now using ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS we can write it as 5/360 = 2x

which is 72=2x

which is 72/2 = x

which is 36 = x

so x = 36.
