ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$93\frac{3}{20} \ square \ inches$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maggie has 4 3/5 container of icing to decorate cakes for a bake sale.

Each container will cover 20 1/4 square inches.

Question asked:

How many square inches will it cover if she uses all of her icing ?

Solution:

Total number of container Maggie has = $4\frac{3}{5}$

Each container will cover = $20\frac{1}{4}$ square inches.

Now, we can find easily that how many square inches it will cover by using all of her icing by unitary method:

Each container will cover = $20\frac{1}{4}$

$4\frac{3}{5}$ container will cover = $20\frac{1}{4}\times4\frac{3}{5} =\frac{20\times4+1}{4} \times\frac{5\times4+3}{5} \$

$=\frac{81}{4} \times\frac{23}{5} =\frac{1863}{20} =93\frac{3}{20}\ square\ inches$

Thus, it will cover $93\frac{3}{20} \ square \ inches$ ,if she uses all of her icing.

Is a equilateral triangle and a right triangle similar?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

An equilateral triangle cannot be similar to a right triangle, whereas an isosceles triangle can be similar to a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle must have a 90º angle, so it cannot be equilateral in side length and angle since the figure would no longer be a triangle.

Isosceles triangles have two same sides, so two equal angles. A right triangle can be a 45º, 45º, and 90º.

Using the median concept, it is found that it suffered a 11.16% decrease.

<h3>What is the median of a data-set?</h3>

It is the 50th percentile of the data-set, which is the value that separates the lower 50% from the upper 50%.

In this problem, the ordered data-set, in thousands of £, is given by:

{19.4, 39.8, 42.3, 42.5, 45.1, 47.9, 52.4, 53.5}

It has even cardinality, hence the median is the mean of the 8/2 = 4th and 5th terms, so:

M = (42.5 + 45.1)/2 = £43800.

It decreased from £49300 last year. The percentage decrease is the change divided by initial amount and multiplied by 100%, hence:

P = (49300 - 43800)/49300 x 100% = 11.16%.

Eric leans a ladder against the roof of his house so that the ladder forms a 2004-04-02-01-00_files/i0260000.jpg angle with the

Flauer [41]

A right angled triangle can be formed from the given scenario as shown below in the figure:

We have a perpendicular(opposite side), the measure of angle and we are interested in finding the hypotenuse.

sine of the angle relates its perpendicular side to hypotenuse as:

sin(x) = perpendicular/hypotenuse

⇒

Hypotenuse = Perpendicular/sin(x) = 13/sin(70) = 13.8 feet

This means, the length of the ladder is 13.8 feet, rounded to nearest tenth.
