Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:1.

Use law of cosine.

AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2 - 2 * AC * BC * cos(angle ACB)

AB^2 = 53^2 + 71^2 - 2(53)(71)cos(53)

Using calculator,

AB = about 57.6259 feet

2.

Law of cosine again.

d^2 = 400^2 + 90^2 - 2(400)(90)cos(45)

using calculator,

d = about 342.3278 feet

Which one do i choose fam? I suck at geometry
Viefleur [7K]
The best choice would probably be the third option from the top. Since by using the distance formula you can solve for the length or distance of each of the sides of the triangle, and check to see if it is equal. As would be in an equilateral triangle.

Slope wouldn’t be best for the last leg or bottom leg as there is no change in y and x.
