Answer: 5.4545 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Acid solution required = 75% acid solution

Let the number of ounces of 20% acid solution required = s

Then total ounces acid required can be expressed as :

=0.20s + 0.90 x 20

= 0.20s + 18

While the total ounces required is :

s + 20

Hence, (total ounces of acid / total ounces) = 75% acid solution

= (0.2 + 18) / (s + 20) = 0.75

= 0.2s + 18 = 0.75( s + 20)

0.2s + 18 = 0.75s + 15

18 - 15 = 0.75s - 0.2s

0.55s = 3

S = 3 / 0.55

= 5.4545 ounces

show that the points (1 ,7) ,(4, 2), (-1, -1) and (-4, 4) taken in order are the vertics of a square. Also find its area
OLga [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A (1 ,7) ,   B(4, 2),  C(-1, -1) and D(-4, 4)

Find the distance of sides using distance formula.

Distance = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

A (1 ,7) ,   B(4, 2)

AB = \sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(2-7)^{2}}\\\\    =\sqrt{3^{2}+(-5)^{2}}\\\\  \\   = \sqrt{9+25}=\sqrt{34} units\\\\\\\\BC = \sqrt{(-1-4)^{2}+(-1-2)^{2}}\\\\ =\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}     = \sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34} units\\\\\\CD = \sqrt{(-4-[-1])^{2}+(4-[-1])^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(-4+1)^{2}+(4+1)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(5)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{9+25} =  \sqrt{34} units\\\\\\AD = \sqrt{(-4-1)^{2}+(4-7)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}  =\sqrt{25+9} =  \sqrt{34} units

AB = BC = CD = AD = √34 units. so , ABCD is  a square.

Area of square = side * side

                          = √34 * √34

                          = 34 square units
