Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 gallon = 16 cups
1 quart = 4 cups
1 pint = 2 cups
Therefore...
Multiply
5 gallons × 16 cups = 80 cups
12 quarts × 4 cups = 48 cups
7 pints × 2 cups = 14 cups
Then...
Addition
80 cups + 48 cups + 14 cups = 142 cups
Answer
Myong has 142 cups of rainwater after 3 weeks of collecting rainwater.
Answer:
8 is the length of JB
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Key skills needed: Equations, Congruence</u>
1) We need to find out an equation to make based on the lengths that are given. ΔJMB is congruent to ΔKMB because of Side-Angle-Side:
- JB is congruent to BK
- Angle MBK would be a right angle, since it is supplementary to the right angle JBM. Since both are right angles they are congruent.
- Both triangles have the side BM. Using the reflexive property, BM is congruent to itself, so there you go --> Side-Angle-Side
2) Now since both triangles are congruent, we can make the equation that the length of JM is congruent to the length of MK, using the fact that: If triangles are congruent, then corresponding parts are congruent.
3) This means that 16x -24 = 4x
Subtract 16x from both sides : -24 = -12x
Divide by -12 on both sides and get x = 2
4) Substitute x into the length of JB (16x-24)
16(2)-24 = 32-24 = 8
5) Therefore, the length of JB is 8

So basically what you want to do is square root this, since to find the area of a square from the side length, you square it, (x * x, because the area for a quadrilateral is base * height, and a square has the same length of sides).
So there is no way to properly square root a number unless you memorize it. However, what you can do, is look at the last digit and make an approximation, at which two numbers multiply together to have a last digit of 6.
So, 4 * 4 and 6 * 6 are the two that square to have a last digit of 6.
(1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 6, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 9, 8: 4, 9: 1, 0: 0) If that makes any sense.
So basically the square root has to end with 4 or 6.
Now, you can just approximate. It would be over 20, because 20 squared (20 * 20) is equal to 400. But it would be under 30, because 30 squared is 900.
So the two possible numbers are 24 and 26.
If you square both of them, you find that:
24 squared = 576
26 squared = 676
So therefore 26 is the square root of 676, so therefore one side is 26 yards.
Hope this weirdly long explanation helped :)
