Answer:

8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller of the right triangles formed is similar to the whole triangle so

4/x = x/16   where  x = the shorter leg

x^2 = 64

x = 8.

A store sells two different fruit baskets with mangos and kiwis. The first basket has 2 mangos and 3 kiwis for $9.00. The second
Oliga [24]

Answer:

kiwis = $1.5

mangoes = $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations can be derived from the question

2m + 3k = 9 equation 1

5m + 2k = 14.25 equation 2

m = mangoes

k = kiwis

multiply equation 1 by 5 and 2 by 2

10m + 15k = 45 equation 3

10m +4k = 28.5 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

11k = 16.5

k = 1.5

Substitute for k in equation 1

2m + 3(1.5) = 9

2m + 4.5 = 9

2m = 4.5

m = 2.25
