Answer:
Spiders=8
Ants=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Spider(s)=8 legs
Ants(a)=6 legs
Total legs=136
Total heads=20
8s+6a=136 (1)
s+a=20 (2)
From (2)
s=20-a
Substitute 20-a into (1)
8s+6a=136
8(20-a)+6a=136
160-8a+6a=136
160-2a=136
-2a=136-160
-2a=-24
a= -24/-2
a=12
Substitute a=12 into (2)
s+a=20
s+12=20
s=20-12
s=8
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
you multiply the length and the width
x + y = 24 where x and y are the 2 parts of diagonal Other diagonal wil be smaller that 24.
x^2 + z^2 = 13^2
y^2 + z^2 = 20^2 where z = 0.5 * length of smaller diagonal)
form last 2 equations
y^2 - x^2 = 20^2 - 13^2 = 231
now y = 24-x so we have
(24 - x)^2 - x^2 = 231
576 - 48x = 231
48x = 345
x = 7.1875
z^2 = 13^2 - 7.1875^2 = 117.34
z = 1.83
so smaller diagonal = 21.66 cm
looks like its the third choice.
