Answer:

We can measure 4 gallon by successively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that you have an 8-gallon jug of water and two empty jugs with capacities of 5 gallons and 3 gallons, respectively. We are asked to prove or disprove that you can measure 4 gallon by successively pouring some of or all of the water in a jug into another jug.

First of all, we will pour 5 gallons of water from 8 gallon jug. Then we will pour 5 gallons of water from 5 gallon jug to 3 gallon jug. That will result in 2 gallons of water in 5 gallon jug.

Now, we will pour 3 gallons of water from 3 gallon jug to 8 gallon jug and pour 2 gallons from 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug. That will give us 6 gallons in 8 gallon jug and 2 gallons in 3 gallon jug and empty 5 gallon jug.

In our last step, we will fill 5 gallons jug from 8 gallon jug. After filling 5 gallon jug, we will fill 3 gallons jug from 5 gallon jug. Since 3 gallon jug already contains 2 gallons water, so it can only take one more gallon.

After pouring one gallon from 5 gallon jug, we will get 4 gallons water in 5 gallon jug.

Therefore, we can measure 4 gallon by successively pouring some of the water in a jug into another jug.

Hello there! The area of the triangle portion is 11 square units, the area of the rectangle portion is 77 square units, and the area of the entire figure is 88 square units.

To find the area of the triangle, we can follow the formula:

A = LW/2 (which means length x width divided by 2)

Given the formula:

2 • 11 = 22

22 divided by 2 gives us 11 square units.

To find the area of the rectangle portion, we can follow the area formula:

A = LW (which means area = length x width)

Given the formula:

7 • 11 = 77 square units

To find the area of the whole figure, we add the areas of both isolated shapes:

11 + 77 = 88 square units.

Therefore, our area for the entire figure is 88 square units. If you need any extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: The second endpoint is  (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{-6 +x}{2} = -2  solve for x  

-6 +x = -4

+6        +6

x= 2

\frac{-6+y}{2} = 0  

-6 + y = 0

+6         +6

 y= 6
