Hi there!

Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. It is also the opposite side of the right angle.

Adjacent is when the two angles have a common side and a common vertex and don't overlap.

----------------------------------------------------

I attached a picture in here to help you visualize where they are located.

Please let me know if you have further questions

I hope that helps!

Its very simple. You see, consider a right angled triangle, and the side opposite to the right angle or the largest side is Hypotnuse and the side the is adjacent to the angle that you choose is the adjacent side.

Deandra is doing her math homework. Out of 24 problems total, she completed the first 12 problems in 1 hour and the last 12 in 3

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

6 problems per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Total problems = 24

she completed the first 12 problems in 1 hour

The last 12 in 3 hours.

Total time = 1 hour + 3 hours

= 4 hours

unit rate for all 24 problems = total number of problems / total time taken

= 24 problems / 4 hours

= 6 problems per hour

Paper plates cost $8 per package and plastic utensils cost $5 per package. Your supplier delivers 15 packages for a total cost o

Fittoniya [83]

To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.

To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5

Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.

So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.

The number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

<h3>How to find the number of each type of dish.</h3>

Let

x = number of chicken dish and
y = number of lobster dish

<h3>How to determine the equations for the linear system</h3>

Since it cost $40 per dish for chicken dish, the total cost of chicken dish is 40x.

Also, since it cost $70 per dish for lobster dish, the total cost of lobster dish is 70y

So, the total cost of dish is T = 40x + 70y

Also, we know that the total cost of dish is $13,570.

So, 40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

Also, there are going to be 250 guest at the dinner and thus 250 dishes.

So, the total number of dishes is x + y = 250

So, x + y = 250 (2)

So, the equations of the linear system are

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

<h3>How to determine the solution for the linear system</h3>

Since

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

From (2), x = 250 - y

Substituting x into (1), we have

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

40(250 - y) + 70y = 13570 (1)

10000 - 40y + 70y = 13570

30y = 13570 - 10000

30y = 3570

y = 3570/30

y = 119

Substituting y = 119 into x, we have

x = 250 - y

x = 250 - 119

x = 131

Therefore, the number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes
