Mary purchased a prepaid phone card for $30 . Long distance calls cost 22 cents a minute using this card. Mary used her card onl

y once to make a long distance call. If the remaining credit on her card is $21.42 , how many minutes did her call last?

So it will be 30-21.42 to find the cost of the call
This is 8.58
Then dived 8.52 by .22 This equals 39. Your answer is 39.

Branliest would be great, if you need more help, message me. Have a nice day.

Find the sum. 1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8...99-100

zysi [14]

Answer:

-50

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8...99 - 100

just means,

1 - 2 = -1

3 - 4 = -1

5 - 6 = - 1

7 - 8 = - 1

99 - 100 = -1

basically, -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + ....+ -1 or -1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - ... - 1

$(-1)^{n}$

Treating Grandi's series as a divergent geometric series we may use the same algebraic methods that evaluate convergent geometric series to obtain a third value:

S = 1 − 1 − 1 + ..., so

1 − S = 1 − (1 − 1 − 1 ...) = 1 − 1 − 1 ... = S

1 - S = S

1 = 2*S

resulting in S = 1/2. The same conclusion results from calculating −S, subtracting the result from S, and solving 2S = 1

1/2 of the last term is 100 x 1/2 = 50

This because you are using 2 numbers per -1

example: 1 - 2 = -1 or 3 - 4 = -1 resulting in 50 of the -1 being subtracted

<h3><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

<u>The </u><u>right </u><u>angled </u><u>below </u><u>is </u><u>formed </u><u>by </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>squares </u><u>A</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>B </u><u>and </u><u>C</u>
<u>The </u><u>area </u><u>of </u><u>square </u><u>B</u><u> </u><u>has </u><u>an </u><u>area </u><u>of </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>inches </u><u>²</u>
<u>The </u><u>area </u><u>of </u><u>square </u><u>C </u><u>has </u><u>an </u><u>of </u><u>1</u><u>6</u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>inches </u><u>²</u>

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>area </u><u>of </u><u>square </u><u>A</u><u>? </u>

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u></h3>

The right angled triangle is formed by 3 squares

<u>We </u><u>have</u><u>, </u>

Area of square B is 144 inches²
Area of square C is 169 inches²

<u>We </u><u>know </u><u>that</u><u>, </u>

$\bold{ Area \: of \: square = Side × Side }$

Let the side of square B be x

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values</u><u>, </u>

$\sf{ 144 = x × x }$

$\sf{ 144 = x² }$

$\sf{ x = √144}$

$\bold{\red{ x = 12\: inches }}$

Thus, The dimension of square B is 12 inches

<h3><u>Now, </u></h3>

Area of square C = 169 inches

Let the side of square C be y

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values</u><u>, </u>

$\sf{ 169 = y × y }$

$\sf{ 169 = y² }$

$\sf{ y = √169}$

$\bold{\green{ y = 13\: inches }}$

Thus, The dimension of square C is 13 inches.

<h3><u>Now, </u></h3>

It is mentioned in the question that, the right angled triangle is formed by 3 squares

The dimensions of square be is x and y

Let the dimensions of square A be z

<h3><u>Therefore</u><u>, </u><u>By </u><u>using </u><u>Pythagoras </u><u>theorem</u><u>, </u></h3>

<u>The </u><u>sum </u><u>of </u><u>squares </u><u>of </u><u>base </u><u>and </u><u>perpendicular </u><u>height </u><u>equal </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>square </u><u>of </u><u>hypotenuse </u>

<u>That </u><u>is</u><u>, </u>

$\bold{\pink{ (Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)² }}$

<u>Here</u><u>, </u>

Base = x = 12 inches
Perpendicular = z
Hypotenuse = y = 13 inches

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values</u><u>, </u>

$\sf{ (z)² + (x)² = (y)² }$

$\sf{ (z)² + (12)² = (169)² }$

$\sf{ (z)² + 144 = 169}$

$\sf{ (z)² = 169 - 144 }$

$\sf{ (z)² = 25}$

$\bold{\blue{ z = 5 }}$

Thus, The dimensions of square A is 5 inches

<h3><u>Therefore</u><u>,</u></h3>

Area of square

$\sf{ = Side × Side }$

$\sf{ = 5 × 5 }$

$\bold{\orange{ = 25\: inches }}$

Hence, The area of square A is 25 inches.
