A jet plane can carry up to 200,000 liters of fuel. It used 130,000 liters of fuel during a flight. What percentage of the fuel
-Dominant- [34]

Given:

Capacity of jet plane = 200,000 liters of fuel

Fuel used during flight = 130,000 liters

To find:

The percentage of the fuel capacity it uses on this flight.

Solution:

According to the question, we need to find 130,000 is what percent of 200,000.

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{\text{Fuel used during flight}}{\text{Capacity of jet plane}}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{130000}{200000}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=65

Therefore, the jet plane uses 65 percent of fuel capacity during flight.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 234 meters.
Licemer1 [7]

I am going to show you how easy this is. Once you understand, you will be able to do this forever.

:

Assuming the side of the rectangle are (L) length and (W) width, the perimeter:

2L + 2W = 234

:

"the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide,", the equation for this statement:

L = 2W

:

In the first equation, we can replace L with 2W, then we have

2(2W) + 2W = 234

4W + 2W = 234

6W = 234

Divide both sides by 6

W = 234%2F6

W = 39 meters is the width

:

Remember it said the length is twice the width, therefore:

L = 2(39)

L = 78 meters is the length

:

:

Check this by finding the perimeter with these values

2(78) + 2(39) =

156 + 78 = 234

Find the length of side BY for the given triangle.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

option 3- 5 square root 2

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin 45° = \frac{BY}{OY} \\  \\  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} }  =  \frac{BY}{10}  \\  \\ BY =  \frac{10}{ \sqrt{2} }  \\  \\ BY =  \frac{10 \times  \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2} \times  \sqrt{2}  }   \\  \\ BY =  \frac{10 \sqrt{2} }{2 }   \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{BY =  5 \sqrt{2} }}
