Five days a week, you carpool with 3 co-workers and take turns driving each week. It is 14 miles from your home to your office.

When you drive the carpool you must go an extra 4 miles to pick up your co-workers. If your car averages 18 miles per gallon, about how many gallons of gas should you save every 4 weeks by carpooling?

Answer:

I will save 21.11 gallons in 4 weeks of car pooling.

Step-by-step explanation:

If i have to go office alone then in 4 weeks i will be driving my car = 2×distance from office to home×number of days = 2×14×(4×5) = 28×20 = 560 km.

Now when i carpool with 3 co-workers then i have to drive my car only for 1 week out of 4 weeks.

Means i will be driving total distance = 2× ( distance form office to home + addition distance to pickup co-workers) × number of days

= 2 × (14+4) × 5= 180 km

Now the distance I drove less in 4 weeks = 560 - 180 = 380 km

My car averages 18 miles per gallon gas.

Therefore amount of gas I saved in 4 weeks = 380/18 = 21.11 gallons

xeze [42]
Let
x
be the height of the triangle.

Formular for area of Triangle
= ½ × base × height






thus,
{ \frac{1}{2} }(2x)(x)=44\ kilometers^2

Simplifying
x^2=44\ kilometers^2 \\\\ x= \sqrt{ 44 } \\\\ x=6.63\ kilometers

Ok....
Simplified would be 12.40
Squared would be 153.99 or fraction form would be 83 + 12 \sqrt{35}

Could someone help me please?

Answer:

a. 7.2

b. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side lengths of similar polygons are proportional to each other, therefore:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Thus, let's find b using:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15}

Cross multiply

b*15 = 10*9

15b = 90

Divide both sides by 15

b = 6

Let's find a using:

\frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Cross multiply

9*12 = 15*a

108 = 15a

Divide both sides by 15

a = 7.2
