The absolute value is 40.
Answer:
7 units long
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a right triangle ABC
- AB = 25 units
- BC = 24 units
We are required to determine the length of AC
- We are going to use the Pythagoras theorem;
- According to the theorem, if a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse, then;
a² + b² = c²
In this case;
AB is the hypotenuse and BC is one of the legs of the triangle;
Therefore;
AB² = BC²+AC²
Rearranging the formula;
AC² = AB² - BC²
= 25² - 24²
= 625 - 576
= 49
AC = √49
= 7
Thus, AC is 7 units long
Answer:
y=447.3 pounds
x= 297.3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
Tea A costs $9 per pound and
Tea B cost $6 per pound.
let the number of pounds of Tea A be x
and for Tea B be y pounds
The total cost of the mixture = $8 per pound
hence
9x+6y=8---------1
The total weight of the mixture
150 pounds
x+y=150-----------2
Step two:
9x+6y=8---------1
x+y=150---------2
from eqn 2 x=150-y
put x= 150-y in eqn 1
9(150-y)+6y=8---------1
1350-9y+6y=8
1350-8=9y-6y
1342=3y
divide both sides by 3
y= 1342/3
y=447.3 pounds
put y= 447.3 in eqn 2
x+447.3= 150
x= 150-446=7.3
x= -297.3
x= 297.3 pounds
