So,

We can set up an equation.
\frac{17.4}{396} =  \frac{x}{2735}

Multiply both sides by the LCM.
47,589 = 396x

Divide both sides by 396.
170.17\overline{42}\ gallons = x

Jessica will use approximately 171 gallons of gas.

Assume that a spherical cell, with a diameter of 18 μm, has spherical mitochondria, each with a diameter of 0.18 μm. If mitochon
laiz [17]

Since the linear dimension of the mitochondria is 10^-2 times that of the cell, the volume as a proportion of cell volume will be (10^-2)^3 = 10^-6. In order to make up 0.134 of the cell volume, there must be

(1.34×10^-1)/(10^-6) = 1.34×10^5

mitochondria in the cell.

There are about 134,000 mitochondria.

9. If PQRS is a kite, find RQ. *<br><br> 17 ft.<br> 23 ft.<br> 30 ft.<br> 12 ft.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the bottom left is a right triangle.

a² + b² = c²

(8 ft)² + (15 ft)² = (RQ)²

64 ft² + 225 ft² = (RQ)²

(RQ)² = 289 ft²

RQ = 17 ft

Use the pythagoren theorem to solve x
defon
Well the equation is (A^2)+(B^2)=(C^2)

A= x
B= 2x
C will always be the longest side because it is the Hypotenuse = 25

So if you plug in those numbers into the equation...

(x^2) + (2x^2) = (25^2)

x^2 + 4x^2 = 625

Combine like terms

5x^2 = 625

Divide by five to both sides

x^2 = 125

Then Square root,

x = sqrt(125)

x = sqrt(25* 5)

x = 5sqrt(5)
