Given :
Jack bought 50 lbs of clay for his art projects. He used 13.2 lbs to make a sculpture, and 0.72 lbs for each mug.
To Find :
How many mugs did Jack make if he had 28.88 lbs of clay left over.
Solution :
Clay required to make 1 mug, r = 0.72 lbs.
Amount of clay left after making sculpture is, T = 28.88 lbs.
Now, number of clay mug Jack can make is :
Since, number of mug cannot be in decimal, so we take the floor value.
Therefore, number of mug that can be prepared is 40 .
The perimeter = 20 and AC = 8
Now as it is not mentioned which sides are equal of the isosceles triangle ABC,
We have two possible situations.
1)
If AC is the base
In that case AB = BC
Now AC = 8, AB = x , BC = x
So x + x + 8 = 20
2x + 8 = 20
2x = 12
x = 6
AB = BC = 6
2)
IF AC is not the base,
Then
AC = BC or AC = AB
So BC = 8 or AB = 8
If AB = AC = 8
Then
BC + 8 + 8 = 20
BC = 4
So there are two possible lengths of BC
Either it is BC = 8 or BC = 6 or BC = 4
The figure is attached for your reference.
