Answer:
y is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
since this is a 30 60 90 triangle side a is x sqrt3 side b (which is y) is x and side c is 2x. since side c is 16 you divide by two or 16/2x and find x which 8 and since x is 8 and c is two times side b ur answer is 8 my friend
Est Answer: say the numbers<span> are x and y......and y being the bigger </span>number<span> ... </span>If<span> the </span>ratio<span> is 5:3, then </span>difference<span> between </span>ratio<span> = 5-3 = 2 ... Substituting this x = 5y/3 in equation x-y=</span>18<span> we </span>get<span> ... therefore x = 5 * 27/</span>3 = 5<span>*9 = 45 .... One </span>number<span> is 5 more than another. </span>their<span> sum is 53 what are the </span>two numbers<span>?</span>
Answer:
Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.
<em>Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.</em>
<em />
"<u>3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms</u>":

and
"<u>9 large boxes and 7 small boxes has a total weight of 238 kilograms</u>":

<em>Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>now,</em>
<em>
</em>
<em />
<em>now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:</em>

Since 5 3/5 can be turned into 28/5, then divided by 7/1, you will get 4/5. So Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.
