This is a right angle triangle and you use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse (the diagonal)
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
8^2 + 8^2 = C^2
64 + 64 = C^2
128 = C^2
C = square_root (128)
C = 11 (to the nearest whole number)
The diagonal is 11 feet (to the nearest whole number)
Four and a half gallons of lemonade
Answer=7 minivans
45/7=6.4
since you can't have 0.4 minivans, we round up 6.4 to 7
We have similar triangles so
12/x = (12+78)/(x+13)
We can skip some algebra by doing the ratio on the pieces. We'll show it works at the end.
12/x = 78/13
x = 12(13)/78 = 2
We check
12/2 = 6
(12+78)/(2+13) = 90/15 = 6, good
Answer: x=2
