Answer:

720 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially the Penny bank is 1/2 full

After removing 120 pennies it is 1/3 full;

Therefore. the fraction equivalent to 120 pennies is;

1/2 -1/3 = 1/6

Thus; Assuming the number of pennies that the penny bank can hold when full is x; then;

1/6 of x = 120

x = 120 × 6

= 720 pennies

Hence, when the penny bank is full it can hold 720 pennies.

Answer:

720 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the fraction originally contained in the bank (1/2) and the fraction that remains after Maria removes 120 pennies (1/3) represents the fraction occupied by the 120 pennies.

Therefore the fraction occupied by the 120 pennies= 1/2-1/3=1/6

thus if 1/6 of the bank can hold 120 pennies, then, when full it holds 120×6/1=720 pennies

Please help.. 10 points

Leokris [45]

Answer:

z = 55.15432893

x = 59.61543424

y = 22.5166605

Step-by-step explanation:

To find length "z" you will have to use SOHCAHTOA.

Labelling the triangle will show us that the side marked "z" is the hyp and the side marked 39 is the opp.

sin 45 = $\frac{39}{z}$

z sin 45 = 39

z = $\frac{39}{sin45}$

z = 55.15432893

Using Pythagoras' theorem, you can find that the adj = 39

In the other triangles POV, the adj is actually the opp.

Therefore, use tangent to find y.

tan 60 = $\frac{39}{adj}$

y tan 60 = 39

y = $\frac{39}{tan60}$

y = 22.5166605

Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find x.

$23^{2} + 55^{2} = x^{2}\\\sqrt{23^{2} + 55^{2}} = x\\59.61543424=x$

I need help The point (1, –5) is reflected across the y-axis.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Then the x part of the point takes on the opposite sign that it currently has.

Right now it is 1. If it takes on the opposite sign, it becomes - 1
So the new point is (-1,-5).
Nothing happens to the - 5 when reflected across the y axis.

What is the area of the polygon given below?

never [62]

Answer:

C 340 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide it into smallest pieces.

I see two rectangles that I'm going to do.

The long rectangle reading the paper from bottom to top is a 4 by (4+11+4) rectangle.

The wide rectangle reading the paper from left to right is a 24 by 11 rectangle.

We need to find the area of both of these rectangles and then just add them together to get the total area.

So first rectangle has area 4(19)=76 and the second rectangle has area 264. The sum of these two numbers are 340 square units.
