Answer:

<em>48 spices</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of spices each has is a multiple of 5, 3, and 4.

The number of spices each has is 5x, 3x, and 4x.

Pru has 5x spices.

Piper has 3x spices.

Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, so

5x = 3x + 24

2x = 24

x = 12

Phoebe has 4x spices, so Phoebe has

4(12) = 48

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:  Pru, Piper, Phoebe their ratio 5:3:4 added = 12

What this would mean is that Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices all together.


pru = piper + 24

5/12x = 3/12x + 24

5/12x - 3/12x = 24

2/12x = 24

x = 24 / (1/6)

x = 24 * 6

x = 144 spices in all.


Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices

Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices

Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices <====

Using side lengths only, could the triangles be similar? Triangle X Y Z. Side X Y is 1.5, X Z is 1, Z Y is 2. Triangle Q S R. Si
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

In ∆XYZ, we can write the ratios of the sides from shortest to longest as ...

  y : z : x = 1 : 1.5 : 2 = 2 : 3 : 4

In ∆QSR, we can write the ratios of the side lengths from shortest to longest as ...

  r : s : q = 0.5 : 1 : 1.5 = 1 : 2 : 3

Based on side lengths only, the triangles cannot be similar.

__

<em>Additional note</em>

Even if shortest-to-longest side ratios were the same, the triangle naming is incorrect for them to be similar.

What is the area of d=8 and r=4
Alex

So, for the semi circle, we need to find the area of a circle then divide it by 2.

pi times r squared

\pi 16 is the area of a circle with the radius of 4

(I'm going to use 3.14 as pi)

So 3.14 times 16 is 50.24

Divide that by 2 and we get 25.12

For the rectangle at the bottom. We know that the radius is four, so we can cut off 4ft from the height, leaving us with 8.

8 times 8 is 64.

To find the area of the whole figure, we add 64 and 25.12 together, getting 89.12

So the area is 89.12 feet squared.
