Answer:
5 bags of brand x and 6 bags of brand y.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nutrient requirement for the garden:
39 pounds of nutrient a and
16 pounds of nutrient b
Component of each bag of brand x:
3 pounds of nutrient a and 2 pounds of nutrient b
Therefore, 5 bags of brand x will contain 15 pounds of nutrient a and 10 pounds of nutrient b
Component of each bag of brand y:
4 pounds of nutrient a and 1 pound of nutrient b
Therefore, 6 bags of brand y will contain 24 pounds of nutrient a and 6 pounds of nutrient b
Altogether, she should buy 5 bags of brand x and 6 bags of brand y to meet the nutrient requirement of the garden
Answer:
10 in
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to work this problem, and they give different answers. The reason for that is that <em>the data shown in the diagram is not consistent</em>.
<u>Method 1</u>
Use the area to determine the base length. The area formula is ...
A = (1/2)bh
20 in^2 = (1/2)(b)(4 in)
(20 in^2)/(2 in) = b = 10 in
The missing side dimension is 10 inches.

<u>Method 2</u>
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the parts of the base, then add them up.
Left of the "?" we have ...
left^2 +4^ = 6^
left^2 = 36 -16 = 20
left = √20 = 2√5
Right of the "?" we have ...
right^2 +4^2 = 8^2
right^2 = 64 -16 = 48
right = √48 = 4√3
So, the base length is ...
base = left + right = 2√5 +4√3
base ≈ 11.400 in
The missing side dimension is 11.4 inches. (The area is 22.8 in^2.)
Excuse my awful triangle drawing skills, haha..
So essentially you need to find the perimeter which is done by adding the lengths of the sides.. this gives you 22ft.
Then for part b you need to convert 22ft to yards which gives you 7.3 yards.
Since you can only buy a whole number of yards, you'll actually need 8 yards.
So if the boarder is $8.75 per yard, and you need 8 yards, how much would it cost?
Hope this was helpful.
