Using the Theorem of Pythagoras (a² + b² = c²), let's go through each answer.

{3, 4, 5}

Put in the values:
3² + 4² = 5²
Is it correct? (solve)

Yep! :)

{2, 2, 4}

Put in the values:
2² + 2² = 4²
Is it correct? (solve)

Nope! 2² + 2² = 8. And 4² = 16.

The answer is {2, 2, 4} :)

how many gallons of a 50 antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 40% antifr

Tamiku [17]

Try this:
1) note that weight of pure antifreeze before mixing and after mixing is the same. So, if 'x' is weight of pure antifreeze in 50% solution, it is possible to make up equation before mixing: 0.5x+0.2*90.
2) there are 0.2*90=18 gal. of pure antifreeze in the 20% solution. If 'x' gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 50% sol. and 18 gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 20% sol., it is possible to make up an equation after mixing: 0.4(x+18).
3) using the both parts: 0.5x+0.2*90=0.4(x+18) ⇒ x=54 gal. of <u>pure</u> weight.
4) to find 50% solution of 54 gal. pure weight just 54:0.5=108 gal.
Answer: 108 gal.
