If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.

you can buy a 1.5 lbs bag of gummy bear for $4.35 or spend $5.30 for 2 lbs of gummy bears. Which of the bags is a better deal?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The 2 pound bag of gummy bears

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 1.5/4.35 which = 2.9 the 2.9 is $2.90 per pound

Then, you do 5.3/2 which = 2.6 this 2.6 is $2.60 per pound

$2.60 <  $2.90 there for the 2 pound bag of gummy bears is the better deal

A bath tub drained at a constant rate. The table shows the number of gallons of water left in the tub after being drained for tw
Greeley [361]

The rate at which the water was drained from the tank is 6 gallons of water per minute (option A)

To know the speed at which the tank was drained, we must carry out the following operations:

Taking into account the information provided by the table we establish how much water has been drained from the tank in 20 minutes.

450 gallons - 330 gallons = 120 gallons.

Subsequently, we must divide the amount of water (120 gallons) that was drained by the time it was drained (20 minutes).

120 gallons ÷ 20 minutes = 6 gallons / minute.

According to the above, we can establish that the bath drain rate is 6 gallons / minute (option A).

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some missing information. Here is the complete information:

What is the rate at which the water was drained from the tank?

  • 6 gallons of water per minute.
  • 11 gallons of water per minute.
  • 45 gallons of water per minute.
  • 120 gallons of water per minute.

28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work. Last year, 29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work. What is the relative chan
yaroslaw [1]

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The relative change from last year to this year is 3.7%.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work, therefore, the final value is 28.6. While Last year, 29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work, therefore, the initial value is 29.7.

Since relative change means change with respect to some value. Thus, the relative value with respect to last year is,

Relative value = (29.7-28.6)/29.7 = 0.037 = 3.7%

Hence, the relative change from last year to this year is 3.7%.

Mezclas de alimentos. Un chef repostero creó una solución de azúcar de 50 onzas constituida por 34% de azúcar con una solución d
Kay [80]

Answer:

Las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos estimar la proporción de ingredientes mediante el siguiente promedio ponderado:

0.34= \frac{0.2\cdot m_{A} + 0.4\cdot m_{B}}{m_{A}+m_{B}} (1)

Donde:

m_{A} - Masa de la solución al 20 %, en onzas.

m_{B} - Masa de la solución al 40 %, en onzas.

Podemos simplificar la formula como sigue:

0.2\cdot x + 0.4\cdot (1-x) = 0.34 (2)

Donde x es la proporción de la solución al 20 % dentro de la solución final, sin unidades.

Ahora resolvemos para x en (2):

0.4-0.2\cdot x = 0.34

0.2\cdot x = 0.06

x = \frac{0.06}{0.2}

x = 0.3

Este resultado quiere decir que la solución al 34 % es el resultado de 30 % de la solución al 20 % y 70 % de la solución al 40 %. Si conocemos que la solución final tiene una masa de 50 onzas, entonces las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.
