This is a right triangle. To find the length of the hypotenuse a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
21^2 + 18^2 = c^2
441 + 324 = c^2
765 = c^2
27.66 km
Answer:
A) 5x - 2y = 12
B) 3x + 2y = 36 Adding both equations eliminates "y"
8x = 48
x = 6 Putting x=6 into equation B we get
3*6 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.
8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.
The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means
(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60
Solve for <em>q</em> :
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>
0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6
<em>q</em> = 4
