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.

Solve for x, find the simplified radical & decimal
Ronch [10]

Answer:

x = 6\sqrt{2} = 8.485

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is \sqrt{2} times the length of a leg.

So, if you are given the hypotenuse, then divide its length by \sqrt{2}

x = 12/\sqrt{2} = 12\sqrt{2}/2 = 6\sqrt{2} = 8.485

Una persona asegura que su casa tiene forma rectangular y que el perímetro de la misma es de 18 m y que además, su área es de 21
leva [86]

Considerando las fórmulas para el perímetro y el área de un rectángulo, hay que se chega en una <u>eccuación cuadrática sin solución</u>, o sea, las medidas no son posibles y la persona estaba mintiendo.

<h3>¿Cuál es la fórmula para el perímetro y el área de un rectángulo?</h3>

Considerando que las dimensiones son l y w, hay que:

  • El perímetro es: P = 2(l + w).
  • El área es: A = lw.

El <u>perímetro es de 18 m</u>, o sea:

2(l + w) = 18

l + w = 9

l = 9- w.

El <u>área es de 21 m²</u>, o sea:

lw = 21

(9- w)w = 21

-w² + 9 - 21 = 0

w² - 9w + 21 = 0

El discriminante es dado por:

D = 9² - 4 x 1 x 21 = -3.

El discriminante negativo implica que la <u>eccuación cuadrática no tiene solución</u>, o sea, las medidas no son posibles y la persona estaba mintiendo.
