Let x be the jug, $\frac{1}{2}$ for half-filled, y for the weight of the jug when empty.

∵ $\frac{1}{2}$ x + y = 2.6 kg

∵ x = 4 kg

∴ $\frac{1}{2}$ ⋅ 4 + y = 2.6 kg

∴ 2 + y =2.6 kg

∵ y = 2.6 - 2 = 0.6 kg

∴ The weight of the empty jug = 0.6 kg

Find the value of x and y

Natalija [7]

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

What does the information want:

value of x
value of y

Let's gather some information:

ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles

⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles

⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel

lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the

same line AB

⇒ by the Angle-Angle Theorem*, they are similar triangles

If they are similar triangles:

⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other

let's find x's value

⇒ let's set up a proportion

$\frac{A'B}{AB} =\frac{A'C'}{AC} \\\frac{30}{x+30} =\frac{14}{22} \\14(x+30) = 30*22\\14x + 420 = 660\\14x = 240\\x = 17.143$

let's find y's value

⇒ let's set up a proportion

$\frac{BC'}{BC} =\frac{A'C'}{AC} \\\frac{y}{y+15} =\frac{14}{22} \\22y=14(y+15)\\22y=14y+210\\8y=210\\y=26.25$

Answer:

x= 17.143
y = 26.25

Hope that helps!

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the oblique prism has a rectangular base with a width of 10 units and a length of 13 units. The top base extends 8 units to the right of the bottom base.

From the figure the height of prism is

$h=\sqrt{(17)^2-8^2}=\sqrt{225}=15$

The height of prism is 15.

The volume of prism is

$V=(\text{base area })\times h$

$V=(10\times 13)\times 15$

$V=1950$

The volume of prism is 1950 unit². Therefore the correct option is 3.
