Answer:

  a = 20; b = 2√101

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle at upper left and the one at lower right are similar. Ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so ...

  200/a = a/2

  400 = a^2

  √400 = 20 = a

Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, the value of b can be found:

  b = √(a^2 + 2^2) = √(400 +4) = √4·√101

  b = 2√101

To make 6 apples pie, you need 2 pounds of apples. How many pounds of apples do you need to make 10 apple pies?
Bezzdna [24]
For every 6 apple pie, you need 2 pounds of apples.
So, how many pounds of apples do you need for 10 apple pies?
Well, first to figure out this question we first need to make a conversion factor.
I see in the fraction 6/3 we can simplify that to 2/1. Now we got our conversion factor.
We need to invert the fraction in order for the pie unit to cancel out.
1/2 * 10 = 5

You will need 5 pounds of apples to make 10 apple pies.
