Meyer will need 15 loads of gravel to cover his entire driveway.
Answer:
I am not sure the answer but I can say this from my experiences, to know the shapes and sizes, you may measure like I usually do.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure
Slope=
m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
m=(-16--15)/(19--7)
m=(-16+15)/(19+7)
m=(-1)/(26)
Slope is -1/26
Let the number be n.
Then:
n^2 + (1/n)^2 = 82/9; find n. Find the LCD; it is 9n^2.
Mult all 3 terms by 9n^2:
82*9n^2
9n^4 + 9 = (82/9)(9n^2) => 9n^4 + 9 = ------------
9
Then 9n^4 - 82n^2 + 9 = 0
I used my graphing calculator to find that n = 3.
Let's check: is 3^2 + (1/3)^2 = 82/9?
Is 9 + 1/9 = 82/9?
Is 81 + 1 = 82? YES. So, n=3 is a solution.
