You would calculate this answer with the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is a² + b² = c², which basically means that the sum of two sides squared would equal the side that is missing.
Currently, we are given 6.5 for side 1. The angle measurments we are given is 45º and 90º [the right angle], which means that if we subtract the sum of 45 and 90 from 180 [the total degree amount of every triangle] we can get the missing angle. With the missing angle, we can calculate the length of the second side.
45º + 90º = 135º. 180º - 135º = 45º.
Now that we have the angles of all three sides [45º, 90º, 45º] we can find the second length of the triangle. The fact that two angles are the same [45º] means that the length is also the same.
Thus proving that M is also 6.5 in length, we can square 6.5 and add both sides to each other once squared.
Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
