Answer:

243 trees were saved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recycling one metric ton (1000 kg) of corrugated cardboard will save number of trees = 17

Warehouse recycled 14327 kg of cardboard last year. So we have to find the number of trees saved.

To find the number of trees we will use the unitary method.

∵ Recycling 1000 kg of cardboard number of trees saved = 17

∴ Recycling 1 kg cardboard number of trees saved = \frac{17}{1000}

∴ 14327 kg cardboard will save the number of trees = \frac{17}{1000}\times 14327

= 243.559

≈ 243 trees

Therefore, 243 trees were saved.

1 kg = 0.001 metric tons..so 14327 kg = (14327 * 0.001) = 14.327 metric tons
and if 1 metric tons saves 17 trees....then 14.327 tons saves : 14.327 * 17 = 243.559 saved trees...and since u cant have 0.559 trees, u would round to 243 trees

What is the vertical distance from the origin to the point (2,9)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: The answer should be 9.2195

Step-by-step explanation:They tell us the point is 2.9 and they are asking the distance from the origin which is zero. So we can use pythagorean theorem. A²+B²=C² Look at it as a triangle. They have given us A and B, so you can find C² using those information. If you plot the point in the line you know that A=2 and B=9. Using the formula will be 2²+9²=C² ⇒ 4+81=C² ⇒ 85=C². To get rid of the power of 2 in c we have to square both side to cancel it out. C would equal 9.2195
