Joey has $5.75 made up of dimes and quarters. If Joey has 38 coins, how many of each coin does he have?

1 answer:

3 0

D+q=38
0.1d+0.25q=5.75

Multiply the second equation by -10 and use elimination method.
-d-2.5q=-57.5
d+q=38

-1.5q=-19.5
q=13

Plug quarter number in
d+13=38
d=25

Final answer: 13 quarters, 25 dimes

Three cities form a right triangle on a map. Cities B and C are the furthest apart. If cities A and B are 14 miles apart And cit

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

26.1miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If three cities A, B and C form a right triangle on a map, and the Cities B and C are the furthest apart, then the distance between cities B and C will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

If cities A and B are 14 miles apart, then |AB| = 14miles

Also if cities A and C are 22 miles apart, then |AC| = 22miles.

To get |BC| which is the distance between cities B and C, we will use the Pythagoras theorem.

|BC|² = |AB|² + |AC|²

|BC|² = 14²+22²

|BC|² = 196+484

|BC|² = 680

|BC| = √680

|BC| = 26.1miles

This means that cities B and C are 26.1miles apart

Find the area with Heron's formula pls help !

KatRina [158]

Answer:

3320in²

Step-by-step explanation:

heron formula = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

when s = (a+b+c)/2

s = (16+35+25)/2 = 76/2 = 38

heron formula = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) = √78(78-16)(78-35)(78-25) = √78(62)(43)(53) = √11021244 = 3319.82589905≈3319.8in²(nearest tenth)
