Answer:
y = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AC = BC then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is
∠A = ∠B = 50°, thus
∠C = 180 - (50 + 50) ← sum of angles in Δ = 180°
= 180 - 100 = 80°, hence
5y + 10 = 80 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
5y = 70 ( divide both sides by 5 )
y = 14
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
L = 50 yards or 150 feet W = 20 yards or 60 feet H = 9 feet V = 150 * 60 * 9 V = 81000 cubic feet then multiply the volume, 81000, by 7.5, or 607,500 gallons.

For every 2 pounds of salmon she pays for she will get 3 pounds of sword fish with it. 2 to 3 or 2/3 are different ways to Write a ratio for this problem.
Answer:
The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long
Step-by-step explanation:
A 13ft board is to be cut into three pieces consisting of two equal length ones. The third one is 9in shorter than each of the other two.
Let us first convert the length of the board to inches:
1 ft = 12 inches
13 ft = 12 * 13 = 156 inches
Let the length of each of the other two pieces be x.
Therefore, the length of the third piece is (x - 9)
Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the three pieces is equal to 156 inches. This means that:
x + x + (x - 9) = 156
x + x + x - 9 = 156
=> 3x = 156 + 9
3x = 165
x = 165 / 3 = 55 inches
Each of the first two pieces are 55 inches long.
The length of the third piece will be:
55 - 9 = 46 inches
The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long.
