Answer:
¾
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of Kerry string = 7(½) = 15/2
Length of John string = 6(¾) = 27/4
15/2 - 27/4
30 - 27/4
3/4
Answer:
A. 162 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
==>Given:
Isosceles trapezoid with:
base a = 19m
base b = 35m
Perimeter = 74meters
==>Required:
Area of trapezoid
==>Solution:
Recall: the length of the legs of an isosceles trapezoid are equal.
Perimeter of isosceles trapezoid = sum of the parallel sides + 2(length of a leg of the trapezoid)
Let l = leg of trapezoid.
Perimeter = 74m
Sum of parallel sides = a+b = 19+35 = 54m
Thus,
74 = 54 + 2(l)
74 - 54 = 2(l)
20 = 2(l)
l = 20/2 = 10m
Let's find area:
Area = ½(a+b)*h
a = 19
b = 35
h = ?
Using Pythagorean theorem, let's find h as follows:
h² = l² - [(35-19)/2)²
h² = 10² - [16/2]²
h² = 100 - 64
h² = 36
h = √36 = 6m
Area = ½ x (a+b) × h
= ½ × (19+35) × 6
= ½ × 54 × 6
= 27 × 6
Area = 162m²
Answer:
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of bicycles
y = number of cars
x + y = 80 (1)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
From (1)
x = 80 - y
Substitute x = 80 - y into (2)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
2(80 - y) + 4y = 270
160 - 2y + 4y = 270
- 2y + 4y = 270 - 160
2y = 110
y = 110/2
y = 55
Substitute y = 55 into (1)
x + y = 80 (1)
x + 55 = 80
x = 80 - 55
x = 35
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Answer:
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5(3y - 13) = 6y - 2
5*3y + 5*-13 = 6y - 2
15y - 65 = 6y - 2
15y - 6y = 65 - 2
9y = 63
y = 63/9
y = 7
Check:
5((3*7)-13) = 6*7 - 2
5(21-13) = 42 - 2
5*8 = 40
