Mathematics
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The shortest distance from A to C is AC=5\sqrt{13}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The shortest distance from A to C is the hypotenuse of the right triangle AYC

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

AC^{2}=AY^{2} +YC^{2}

step 1

Find the length YC (hypotenuse of the right triangle YBC)

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

YC^{2}=YB^{2} +BC^{2}

substitute the given values

YC^{2}=6^{2} +15^{2}

YC^{2}=261

YC=\sqrt{261}\ units

step 2

Find the shortest distance from A to C

AC^{2}=AY^{2} +YC^{2}

substitute the given values

AC^{2}=8^{2} +\sqrt{261}^{2}

AC^{2}=325

AC=\sqrt{325}\ units

AC=5\sqrt{13}\ units

Kim and Melody are selling popcorn buckets for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy small buckets or large buckets. Kim sold 3
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The cost of

A small bucket = x = $8

A Larger bucket = y = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of

A small bucket = x

A Larger bucket = y

Kim sold 3 small buckets and 14 large buckets of popcorn for a total of $206.

3x + 14y = 206... Equation 1

Melody sold 11 small buckets and 11 large buckets of popcorn for a total of $231.

11x + 11y = 231.... Equation 2

What is the cost for a small bucket and a large bucket of popcorn?

3x + 14y = 206... Equation 1

11x + 11y = 231 ....... Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method

Multiply Equation 1 by 11 and Equation 2 by 3 to Eliminate x

33x + 154y = 2266.... Equation 3

33x + 33y = 693....... Equation 4

We subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

121y = 1573

y = 1573/121

y = $13

Solving for x

3x + 14y = 206... Equation 1

3x + 14 × 13 = 206

3x + 182 = 206

3x = 206 - 182

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = $8

Hence, the cost of

A small bucket = x = $8

A Larger bucket = y = $13

The school that DeShawn goes to is selling tickets to the annual dance competition. On the first day of ticket sales, the school
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Both child tickets and senior tickets cost $14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the school that DeShawn goes to is selling tickets to the annual dance competition, and on the first day of ticket sales, the school sold 10 senior citizen tickets and 8 child tickets for a total of $ 252, while the school took in $ 280 on the second day by selling 10 senior citizen tickets and 10 child tickets, to determine what is the price of each of one senior citizen ticket and one child ticket, the following calculation must be performed:

10 senior tickets + 8 child tickets = 252

10 senior tickets + 10 child tickets = 280

280 - 252 = 2 child tickets

28 = 2 child tickets

28/2 = 1 child ticket

14 = 1 child ticket

14 x 10 = 140

(280 - 140) / 10 = senior tickets

140/10 = 14 = senior tickets

Therefore, both child tickets and senior tickets cost $14.
