Answer:

Amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. Now we need to find about how many gallons can Joe's tank hold.

So let's find change that happened after filling the gas.

Change = (5/8 full) - (1/4 full)

Change = (5/8 - 1/4)  full

Change = (5/8 - 2/8)  full

Change = (5 - 2)/8  full

Change = 3/8  full

So that means 3/8 full happens in 6 gallons

then 1 full will happen in 6/(3/8) gallons = 6*(8/3) gallons = 48/3 gallons = 16 gallons

So the amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

  1. To divide the triangles into these regions, you should construct the <u>perpendicular bisector</u> of each segment.
  2. These perpendicular bisectors intersect and divide each triangle into three regions.
  3. The points in each region are those closest to the vertex in that <u>region</u>.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional geometric shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles only.

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment can be defined as the part of a line in a geometric figure such as a triangle, circle, quadrilateral, etc., that is bounded by two (2) distinct points and it typically has a fixed length.

<h3>What is a perpendicular bisector?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector can be defined as a type of line that bisects (divides) a line segment exactly into two (2) halves and forms an angle of 90 degrees at the point of intersection.

In this scenario, we can reasonably infer that to divide the triangles into these regions, you should construct the <u>perpendicular bisector</u> of each segment. These perpendicular bisectors intersect and divide each triangle into three regions. The points in each region are those closest to the vertex in that <u>region</u>.
