Marley has read 112.5 pages of a book. By the end of today, she plans to have read at least a total of 360 pages. If she reads 4

5.5 hours.  5 hours and 30 minutes

The total pages she wants to finish (360) minus the pages she has read (112.5) equals to 247.5
Then divide it by the 45 (the rate of pages she reads per hour) 
5.5 hours.

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 2√13 cm . If the smaller side is increased by 2 cm and the larger side is increased
White raven [17]

<em><u>Statement:</u></em>

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 2√13 cm. If the smaller side is increased by 2 cm and the larger side is increased by 3 cm, the new hypotenuse will be √117 cm.

<em><u>To find out:</u></em>

The length of the larger side of the right angled triangle.

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let us consider x as the smaller side and y as the larger side.

Then, in the right angled triangle,

x² + y² = (2√13)² ...(I) [By Pythagoras Theorem]

Now, if the smaller side is increased by 2 cm, then the smaller side will be (x + 2).

And if the larger side is increased by 3 cm, then the larger side will be (y + 3).

Then, in the new right angled triangle,

(x + 2)² + (y + 3)² = (√117)² [By Pythagoras Theorem]

or, x² + 2 × 2 × x + 2² + y² + 2 × 3 × y + 3² = (√117)²

or, x² + 4x + 4 + y² + 6y + 9 = (√117)²

or, x² + y² + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117)²

Now, put the value of x² + y² from equation (I),

or, (2√13)² + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117)²

or, (2 × 2 × √13 × √13) + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117 × √117)

or, 52 + 4x + 6y + 13 = 117

or, 4x + 6y = 117 - 52 - 13

or, 4x + 6y = 52

or, 4x = 52 - 6y

or, x = \frac {(52 - 6y)}{4} ...(II)

Now, put the value of x of equation (II) in (I),

x² + y² = (2√13)²

or, \frac {(2704-624y +36y²)}{16} + y² = 52

or, \frac {(2704-624y +36y² + 16y²)}{16}= 52

or, 52y²-624y + 2704 = 52 × 16

or, 52y² - 624y + 2704 - 832 = 0

or, 52y² - 624y + 1872 = 0

or, 52(y² - 12y + 36) = 0

or, y²-12y +36 = 0 ÷ 52

or, y²-12y +36 = 0

or, (y)² - 2 × 6 × y + (6)² = 0

or, (y - 6)² = 0

or, y - 6=0

or, y = 6

We have taken y as the length of the larger side of the right angled triangle.

So, the length of the larger side is 6 cm.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

6 cm

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

A pizza had 9/10 left before Lucas ate 4/5 of the pizza. How much pizza is left over
Norma-Jean [14]
1/10 is left.

Explanation:

First we need to find a common denominator. Since 5×2=10, if we multiply 4/5 by 2/2, we will be able to subtract that from 9/10.

4/5×2/2= 8/10. Then if we subtract that from the 9/10 left of the pizza, we get 1/10, the amount remaining.

Hope this helps :)
