Samantha had 500 jars of slime 30% green 25% clear and 15% purple the rest of the jars of slime were blue how many jars were blu
1 answer:
Answer:
150
Step-by-step explanation:
100% represents 500 jars
Subtract the sum of the percentage of other jars for percent of blue jars
100 - (30 + 25 + 15) = 100 - 70 = 30%
That is 30% of the jars are blue
Calculate 30% of 500 to obtain number of blue jars
30% = = 0.3, hence
number of blue jars = 0. 3 × 500 = 150

First of all, we have to observe this triangles separated by the height. These small and big triangles are similar according to the Angle-Angle-Angle principle.
a. We can find all of these length using the cosine of the angle, Pythagoras theorem and the principle of the similarity of triangles.
b. According to the cosine of the angle we can write that, cosθ = 12/a = 5/13 and from here a = 31.2. After finding that using Pythagoras theorem, we can write that . According to the similarity of the triangles, we can write that 31.2/d = 28.8/12 and d = 13. Applying Pythagoras theorem we find that c = 5.
c. We already gave the answer for this question in part b
