Let ABCD be this parallelogram 
AB + BC + CD + DA = 50, but AD = BC  and AB = DC, Then:
2.AD + 2.AB = 50 and :
AD+AB = 25 . We also know that AB+1 = AD (Given), then:
AD + (AD+1) = 25
2.AD = 24 
AD = 12, THEN AB = 12+1=13
Calculate DB the diagonal perpendicular to AD, using Pythagoras:

AD² + DB² = AB²
12² +DB² = 13²
DB² = 13² - 12² = 25
AND DB= 5

Jacob uses 5/6 of a liter of water to fill 4/7 of the fish aquarium. how many liters of water are needed to fill the aquarium?
Rom4ik [11]
1 - 4 / 7 = 3 / 7  ( It means that it is 3 / 7 of the aquarium left to fill with water )
5 / 6 L ------ 4 / 7
  x L --------- 3 / 7
5 / 6 : x = 4/7  : 3/7
5 / 6 : x = 4 : 3
4 x = 3 * 5/6
4 x = 15/6
x = 15/6  : 4
x = 5/2 : 4 = 5/8 L
Answer:
Jacob needs 5/8 L more to fill the aquarium,
or 5/6 + 5/8 = 35/24 L ( in total ).

Fifteen bicyclists entered a race. In how many different orders can the top five finish so that awards can be given?
postnew [5]

Answer:

They can finish the race in 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 = 360360 order.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 bicyclists in the race. The first position would come from the first bicyclist to the 15th. Meaning the first position can be occupied by 15 individuals. The second position can only be occupied by 14 individuals since one person is already first. Same way the third, fourth and fifth positions can be occupied by 13, 12 and 11 individuals respectively.

Therefore, they can finish the race in

15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 = 360360 order.
