Answer:

The perimeter of the square is 4\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length side of the square

we know that

In an isosceles right triangle the measures of the internal angles are 45°-90°-45°

so

the horizontal distance is equal to the vertical distance

2=x+x

x=1\ in

The perimeter of the square is

P=4b

we have

b=1\ in

substitute

P=4(1)=4\ in

A game room has a floor that is 100 feet by 30 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 3 units:5 feet.
Ghella [55]

3 units/ 5 feet = 18 units/ 30 feet

The dimensions of the scale drawing are 60 units by 18 units.

What is the solution to the system of equation<br> -7x-2y=-13<br> X-2y=11<br> Using substitution
Gnom [1K]
        -7x - 2y = -13
-7x + 7x - 2y = 7x - 13
               -2y = 7x - 13
                -2         -2
                 y = -3.5x + 6.5

                      x - 2y = 11
    x - 2(-3.5x + 6.5) = 11
x - 2(-3.5x) - 2(6.5) = 11
             x + 7x - 13 = 11
                   8x - 13 = 11
                       + 13 + 13
                          8x = 24
                           8      8
                            x = 3

y = -3.5x + 6.5
y = -3.5(3) + 6.5
y = -10.5 + 6.5
y = -4
(x, y) = (3, -4)

the Hog's head pub decide to make mixture thst is 50% butterbeer. how much of an 80% butterbeer solution should mixed with 20 ga
evablogger [386]
There are 20 gallons of 20% butterbeer solution.
Assume there are x gallons of 80% solution.

So total amount of the solution will be (x+20) gallons
The final solution is 50%.

So, we can set up the equation as:

0.2(20)+0.8(x)=0.5(x+20) \\ \\ 4+0.8x=0.5x+10 \\ \\ 0.8x-0.5x=10-4 \\ \\ 0.3x=6 x=20.

Thus, there will be 20 gallons of 80% butterbeer solution that is needed to be mixed with 20 gallons of 20% butterbeer solution.
