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

If a recipe requires 400 grams of potatoes for four people, how many kilograms would be required for 12 people?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 400 grams of potatoes for 4 people. That means each person will require 400 / 4 = 100 grams.

Now, we have 12 people, so the total number of grams needed will be:

(100 g/person) * (12 people) = 1200 grams

However, we want the answer in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 1200 by 1000:

1200 / 1000 = 1.2 kg

The answer is 1.2 kg.
