Answer:

The distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars is 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the diagram four reference.

Given:

the slide is 12 feet due west of the tire swing

So according the diagram;

TS = 12 feet

Also Given:

slide is 16 feet due south of the monkey bars.

So according the diagram;

MS = 16 feet

We need to find the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars.

according to diagram we need to find the MT.

Solution:

assuming it to be right angle triangle with right angle at S.

we have;

In Δ MTS;

\angle S = 90\°

TS = 12 feet

MS = 16 feet

Now applying Pythagoras theorem which states that;

"Sum of the square of the two side of the triangle is equal to square of the hypotenuse."

framing in equation form we get;

MT^2=TS^2+MS^2

Substituting the values we get;

MT^2= 12^2+16^2= 144+256 =400

Taking square root on both side we get;

\sqrt{MT^2}=\sqrt{400} \\ \\MT =20\ ft

Hence the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars is 20 feet.

Answer:

The measure of Angle A is 45.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of the angle A, add it to the measures of angle B and C. Since it is an isosceles triangle, we know that B and C have the same measure. Then we set this equal to 180.

A + B + C = 180

2x + 4 + 3x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 180

8x + 14 = 180

8x = 166

x = 20.75

Now we can find the measure of Angle A by putting the value of x in for x.

2x + 4 = A

2(20.75) + 4 = A

41.5 + 4 = A

45.5 = A

Maggie bought 45 oz of flour for her bakery. She used 17.5 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.71 oz for each muffin. How many muf
butalik [34]

Answer:

18 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of flour Maggie used

Total amount of flour she bought - Amount of flour left over.

= 45oz - 14.72 oz

= 30.28 oz of flour

She used 17.5 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.71 oz for each muffin.

Hence,

Let the number of muffins = x

17.5 + 0.71x = 30.28

0.71x = 30.28 - 17.5

0.71x = 12.78

x = 12.78/0.71

x = 18 muffins

Therefore, Maggie made 18 muffins
