When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)
Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12
By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.
Answer: b=12
Answer:
There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Kohl has a "x" amount of solution, if he divides it by the number of students "n" he'll give each student 3 milliliters and have a left over of 5 milliliters. If the amount of solution Mr. Kohl had was "x + 21" then he'd be able to give each student 4 milliliters of the solution. From these informations we have:
x = 3*n + 5
(x + 21)/n = 4
x + 21 = 4*n
x = 4*n - 21
Now that we have two equations and two variables we can solve the system of equations, as seen bellow:
3*n + 5 = 4*n - 21
3*n - 4*n = -21 - 5
-n = -26
n = 26
x = 4*26 - 21 = 83 ml
There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.
2.5 2 cup servings of flour are used. For every serving of flour, there are 2/3 cups of sugar. So, we need to use 2.5 servings of sugar, too. (2/3)*2.5= 5/3, or 1.6666.... cups of sugar.
Divide the numerator by the denominator .
