I'm going to work from left to right here, starting with the base of the largest triangle and ending with x. Pay close attention to the sides I am describing since there are no distinctive values for each vertex. The base of the largest triangle is also the hypotenuse of the one next to it. We will look at that missing side as the base of the large one to solve it. Since these are all right triangles, every single side/hypotenuse we solve for will use Pythagorean's theorem. The first missing side is found by 52^2-48^2=c^2. Simplifying we get 2704 - 2304 = c^2. c^2 = 400 so c = 20. That first missing side is 20. Now we move to the next triangle in line. we have the hypotenuse of that triangle as 20 and the base as 12. The formula to find the missing side is 20^2-12^2=c^2 and c^2=256. c = 16. 16 is the length of that whole side, but that whole side is actually the bases for those 2 small triangles. Before we can solve for x we have to find out what the base of the larger of the 2 triangles is and subtract that from 16 to find the base of the triangle with x in it. Got that? The hypotenuse is 13 and the height is 5, so the formula to find the base of that triangle is 13^2-5^2=c^2 and 169-25=c^2 so 144=c^2 and c = 12. That means that the base of the triangle with x in it is 16 - 12 which is 4. Now we have the base as 4 of that triangle and the height as 5, so we solve for x: 4^2+5^2=x^2 and 25+16=x^2 so x^2=41 and finally we have that x=\sqrt{41}. That is the simplest radical form, so that's your answer!

Ari thinks the perfect milkshake has 333 spoonfuls of caramel for every 555 scoops of ice cream. Freeze Zone makes batches of mi
Travka [436]

Answer:

She wont think it is perfect

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ari's perfect ice cream is

333 caramel : 555 scoops

Freeze zone ratio is

666:888

Not proportional because you multiply 333 x 2 to get 666, but when you multiply 555 x 2 you wont get 888.

And tell her to cut down on the sugar.

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%.
aev [14]

Answer:

A ) The money which Andre pay for the bike is $ 67.30

B ) The money which Andre pay for the bike is $ 76.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The wholesale cost or market price of the bike = m.p = $ 96.15

A ) The discount percentage = 30 %

Let The selling price of the bike after discount = s.p

Now ,

Discount % = \dfrac{m.p - s. p }{m . p}

or, 30 % = 1 - \dfrac{s. p }{m . p}

or, \dfrac{30 }{100} = 1 - \dfrac{s. p }{96.15}

Or, \dfrac{s. p }{96.15} = 1 -  \dfrac{30 }{100}

or,  \dfrac{s. p }{96.15} =  \dfrac{100 - 30 }{100}

Or,  \dfrac{s. p }{96.15} =  \dfrac{70}{100}

Or, s. p = \dfrac{70}{100} × 96.15

∴  s.p = $ 67.305

So, He will pay $ 67.30

Hence The money which Andre pay for the bike is $ 67.30  . Answer

B ) If the bike is discounted by 20 % , let The selling price = s.p'

So,

Discount % = \dfrac{m.p - s. p }{m . p}

or, 20 % = 1 - \dfrac{s. p' }{m . p}

or, \dfrac{20 }{100} = 1 - \dfrac{s. p' }{96.15}

Or, \dfrac{s. p' }{96.15} = 1 -  \dfrac{20 }{100}

or,  \dfrac{s. p' }{96.15} =  \dfrac{100 - 20 }{100}

Or,  \dfrac{s. p' }{96.15} =  \dfrac{80}{100}

Or, s. p' = \dfrac{80}{100} × 96.15

∴  s.p' = $ 76.92

So, He will pay $ 76.92

Hence The money which Andre pay for the bike is $ 76.92  . Answer

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm guessing u must be from UK.... in the US "standard form" is known as "Scientific Notation"

Write 3.25 x 10^4 as an ordinary number: 32 500

Write 6.04 x 10^-3 as an ordinary number:  0.00604

Write 2 400 000 in standard form  : 2.4 x 10^6

Write 0.00147 in standard form: 1.47 X 10^-3
