A right triangle has one leg with a length of 48 and a hypotenuse with a length of 80 what is the length of the other leg

1 answer:

7 0

A^2+b^2= c^2

48^2+b^2= 80^2

2304+b^2= 6400

Subtract 2304 from both sides.

b^2= 4096

Find the square root.

b= 64

I hope this helps!

The chemistry class was making 300 gallons of 30% isopropyl alcohol. They mixed 12% with 42%. How much of each did they use?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The chemistry class mixed 120 gallons of 12% isopropyl alcohol and 180 gallons of 42% isopropyl alcohol.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of isopropyl alcohol made by the chemistry class = 300 of 30%

Amount of 12% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = x

Amount of 42% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = 300 - x

2. How much of each did they use?

Let's write our equation to solve for x, this way:

30% = 0.3, 12% = 0.12, 42% = 0.42

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12x + 126 - 0.42x = 90

-0.3x = 90 - 126

-0.3x = -36

x = -36/-0.3

x = 120 ⇒ 300 - x = 180

Let's prove x = 120 is correct

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12 * 120 + 0.42 (300 - 120) = 0.3 * 300

14.4 + 75.6 = 90

90 = 90

We proved x = 120 is correct

Awnser and show your work <3

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Team A: 25 players

Team B: 24 players

Step-by-step explanation:

Team A:

to find the total # of players of the team we need to set up a fraction. 5 out out of an unknown number of players is equal to 1/5, so we set it up as:

$\frac{5}{x} = \frac{1}{5}$

then we cross multiply to get

x*1 = 5*5

x=25 players

Team B

similarly to Team A

$\frac{3}{x} = \frac{1}{8}$

cross multiply to get

x*1=3*8

x= 24 players

Two cars leave towns 360 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hou

mixer [17]

Let x = speed of the first car

the second car is 12 km slower so the seconds car speed is x-12

they each drove 2 hours so 1st car = 2x
2nd car = 2(x-12)

they drove 360 km
so you have 2x + 2(x-12) = 360
solve for x

2x+2(x-12) = 360

2x + 2x-24 = 360

4x-24 = 360

4x = 384
x = 384/4
x = 96

1st car drove at 96 km per hour

slower car drove at 96-12 = 84 km per hour

I need help quick please
