Ah yes, good ol’ Pythagorean’s theorem.
The hypotenuse is the opposite of the 90 degree angle, the longest side of the triangle.
The legs are opposite of the acute angles
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2:
Let’s plug in some values
(6)^2 + (3)^2 = c^2
C = 6.7
The side will be 6.7 units
3)
Let’s plug in some values
(13.3)^2 = (9.7)^2 + (b)^2
(13.3)^2 - (9.7)^2 = b^2
176.89 - 94.09 = b^2
b = 9.1
The side will be 9.1 units
If you were to solve this equation you would get answers of x=-2 and x=-8
One gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces
3 gallons is equivalent to 3*128 fluid ounces
= 384 fluid ounces
One plastic cup can hold 12 guide ounces
So cups needed will be 384/12
32 cups
<u>Candies</u>
4 red
2 yellow
5 green
1 purple
- Taina doesn't like red candies.
4/4+2+5+1 = 4/12
4/12 is the probability Taina <em>will</em> get a red candy, but we're looking for the opposite.
12/12 - 4/12 = 8/12 = 2/3
The probability Taina will not select a red candy is 2/3.
