Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.

1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.

2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.

We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.

3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.

4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.

Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.

5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.

6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.

7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.

8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.

Using isosceles triangle theorems solve for x and y
klio [65]
Well lets start by getting y. We already know that all angles of a triangle will equal 180 degrees.
Therefore we know that 65 + 65 + y = 180. To solve for y we just add the two 65's then subtract that from 180
y = 180-130 = 50 Therefore y = 50

Now lets solve for x. We know that since angle B is flat it is equal to 180. The unknown value of angle B = 180 - 65
Therefore that unknown value = 115

As we previously stated all angles of a triangle equal 180. We can now come up with this equation: 115 + x + x = 180
2x = 65
x = 32.5

Anni [7]

Answer:

  • 57 million square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of water is w and area of land is l.

<u>Their ratio is:</u>

  • w/l = 7/3

or

  • 133 / l = 7/3

Find the value of l

  • l = 133*3/7
  • l = 57 million square miles

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

A number that cannot be expressed that way is irrational. For example, one third in decimal form is 0.33333333333333 (the threes go on forever). However, one third can be express as 1 divided by 3, and since 1 and 3 are both integers, one third is a rational number.
