Consider the right angles triangle with hypotenuse 15 and leg 8 cm formed by drawing the diagonal.
The other leg (x) will be the other side of the rectangle and , by Pythagoras we have:-
15^2 = 8^2 + x^2
x^2 = 225 - 64
x^2 = 161
x = 12.69 cms
So the perimeter p = 2*8 + 2* 12.69
= 16 + 25.38
= 41.38 cms (answer)
Let 'x' represent the number of baskets and let 'y' be the total cost.
Since the paint costs 14.50 and each basket cost 7.25, then we have the following function:

To find the cost of 4 baskets, we can make x = 4 and solve for y:

therefore, the cost of painting 4 baskets is $43.50
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
15 bicycles and 6 skateboards.
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of bicycles and y represent the number of skateboards. The first equation in our system is then
x+y = 21, since there are 21 total items in the shop.
Each bicycle has 2 tires and each skateboard has 4; this gives us the equation
2x+4y=54 (because they are ordering 54 tires).
This makes our system

We will use elimination to solve this; we first need one of the variables to have the same coefficient in both equations. We will make x the same, and we will do this by multiplying the first equation by 2:

Now we will subtract the second equation from the first one:

Divide both sides by -2:
-2y/-2 = -12/-2
y = 6
There were 6 skateboards. Substituting this into the first equation,
x+6 = 21
Subtract 6 from each side:
x+6-6 = 21-6
x = 15
There were 15 bicycles.
Answer:
The radius of the circles are
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the radius of larger circle
y----> the radius of smaller circle
we know that

-----> equation A
Remember that
-----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y





Find the value of x


therefore
The radius of the circles are
and
