Here's some help. Hope this works.
Answer:
Leg1 = 9 and leg2 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
<u>To find the length of each leg</u>
It is given that, hypotenuse = 15 feet
Let base = x the height = x +3
By using Pythagorean theorem we can write,
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
15² = x² + (x + 3)²
225 = x² + x² + 6x + 9
2x² + 6x + 216 = 0
x² + 3x + 108 = 0
By solving we get x = 9 and x -12
Therefore one leg = 9 and other leg = 9 + 3 = 12
Answer:
<u>252 square inches is the surface area of Josiah's cereal box.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Height of the box = 11 inches
Length of the box = 8 inches
Width of the box = 2 inches
2. What is the surface area of Josiah's cereal box?
Let's recall the surface area of a rectangular prism:
Surface area = 2 (width * length + height * width + length * height)
Surface area = 2 (2 * 8 + 11 * 2 + 8 * 11)
Surface area = 2 (16 + 22 + 88)
Surface area = 2 * 126
<u>Surface area = 252 inches²</u>
The first question asks who sold more rolls. So start with figuring out how many Christie sold.
5 total - 1 2/3 left = 3 1/3 sold
you can convert the numbers to improper fractions with the same denominator. Like this:
5 x (3/3) - (3+2)/3
15/3 - 5/3 = 10/3
10/3 = 3 1/3
So now we know Christie sold more because 3 1/3 dozen is more than 2 1/2 dozen.
The part asks how many more.. Subtract the amounts the two girls sold.
3 1/3 - 2 1/2
10/3 x (2/2) - 5/2 x (3/3)
20/6 - 15/6 = 5/6
Christie sold 5/6 dozen more rolls. A dozen is 12 rolls so if you wanted to go further you just multiply 12 x 5/6 = 10 rolls
