Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that you are given an isosceles right-angle triangle to solve, since each of its two acute angles measures 
. Then such means that the sides opposite to these acute angles (the so called "legs" of this right angle triangle) must also be of the same length (x).
We can then use the Pythagorean theorem that relates the square of the hypotenuse to the addition of the squares of the triangles legs:
We use just the positive root, since we are looking for an actual length. then, the requested side is:
Let us assume the number of CDs Kate had = x
Number of CDs given to Sue = 5x/6
Number of CDs given to Joan = (5x/6) * ( 7/8)
= 35x/48
Number of CDs given to Ann = (35x/48) * (3/5)
= 7x/16
Total number of CDs Ann received = 70
Then
7x/16 = 70
x = 160
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the number of CDs that Kate originally had was 160. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
700,000 is the answer I believe
