The current in a simple electrical circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance. The current is 80 amps when the resistan

ce is 50 ohms. What is the current when the resistance is 40 ohms?

I = / r where I = current and r = resistance

80 = k / 50 so
k = 400

so we have I = 400/r

when r = 40
I = 400/40 = 10 amps

8. A right triangle has a perimeter of 60 cm. The legs have a ratio of 5:12. The hypotenuse is twice the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

a=24

b=10

c=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of the sides ( $a+b+c=60$ )

The legs (a and b) have a ratio of 5:12, which means that $5a=12b$ , which can be simplified to $\frac{5}{12} a=b$ , where b will be the smaller leg.

The hypotenuse will be double the smallest leg, 2b, increased by 6 meters, giving us an equation of $c=2b+6$

Let's plug these in to get one variable:

$a+b+c=60\\a+b+2b+6=60\\a+\frac{5}{12}a+2(\frac{5}{12}a)+6=60\\\frac{12}{12}a+\frac{5}{12}a+\frac{10}{12}a+6=60\\\frac{12}{12}a+\frac{5}{12}a+\frac{10}{12}a=54\\\frac{27a}{12}=54\\27a=648\\a=24$

Now that we have a, we can plug it in to our previous equations to find our other sides:

$5a=12b\\5(24)=12b\\120=12b\\10=b$

$c=2b+6\\c=2(10)+6\\c=20+6\\c=26$

Double-checking:

$a+b+c=60\\24+10+26=60\\60=60$

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why this answer is 200 is because it gave us a clue that 30 students said that pie was their favorite desert, what is half of 30? 15 so therefore, the pattern is half of each.

Ice cream: 35x2=70

Cake: 27x2=54

Candy: 23x2=46

Pie: 15x2=30

So, 70+54+46+30=200
