The two smaller triangles are similar to each other and to the larger one.
.. 12/x = x/6 . . . . . ratio of long leg to short leg
.. x^2 = 6*12
.. x = 6√2

.. y/12 = 18/y . . . . . ratio of hypotenuse to long leg
.. y^2 = 12*18
.. y = 6√6

In summary,
x = 6√2
y = 6√6

Sienna has 5 3/4 pounds of grapes. She eats 1/8 pound and gives 2 1/2 pounds to her brother. How many pounds of grapes does Sien

miskamm [114]

The pounds of grapes left with seinna is 3.125 or $\frac{25}{8}$ pounds

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that Sienna has $5\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of grapes

She eats $\frac{1}{8}$ pound and gives $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds to her brother

To find: pounds of grapes left with seinna

We can find the pounds of grapes left with seinna by subtracting the pounds of grapes she ate and pounds of grapes she gave to brother from the total pounds of grapes she had

Pounds of grapes left with seinna = total pounds of grapes - pounds of grapes she ate - pounds of grapes she gave to brother

$\text {total pounds of grapes }=5 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{4 \times 5+3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}$
