Answer:
use Pythagoras theorem
the missing side is base
Step-by-step explanation:
pythagoras theorem
h^2 = p^2 + b^2
73^2 = 48^2 + b^2
5329 = 2304 + b^2
5329 - 2304 = b^2
3025 = b^2
√3025 = b
55 = b
So, this is too vague but I'll solve for both quadratic formula and find the discriminant.
Quadratic formula: <span>x=<span>5+<span><span><span>√35 OR</span><span> </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span>5−<span>√<span>35
Finding the discriminant: 141</span></span></span>
Answer:
The larger ham is the better buy.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the better buy, divide both of the prices by their weight to get the price per pound of ham.
5.70/3 = 1.90 per lb
8.75/5 = 1.75 per lb
Therefore the 5 pound of ham is a better buy.
