Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.
If the longest side squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.
The longest side = 61, thus
61² = 3721
12² + 60² = 144 + 3600 = 3744 ≠ 3721
Thus these sides do not form a right triangle.
The height is: 7.5 inches. Since the terrarium is 14.5 inches in total, and the width is 7 inches, the remaining inches makes up the height and that is 7.5.
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
15^2 + 20 ^2 = c^2
225 + 400 = c^2
625 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(625) = sqrt(c^2)
25 = c
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:
120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16
Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...
120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)
0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms
n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller
(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic
The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.
The woman bought 6 items.
_____
Check
When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
Answer:
2.80
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount is the regular price times the discount
discount = 19 *15%
discount = 2.85
The new price is the regular price minus the discount
new price = 19-2.85
=16.15
Now she has to pay the sales tax
tax = new price * tax rate
tax= 16.15 * 6.5%
= 16.15 *.065
=1.05
We add the tax to the new price to get the final price
final price = new price+tax
= 16.15 +1.05
=17.20
She pays with a 20 dollar bill
Change = payment - final price
=20.00 - 17.20
= 2.80
