So, Mr Yeo has 32 litres of water to begin, by taking away the 3/8 (12 litres) you get 20 litres, dividing that by 4 gives you 5litres.
Your answer is then 5 Litres
Answer:
the answer would be 1.653 I think I'm not totally sure... sorry
It would b 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
34.3 in, 36.3 in
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Hypothenus = 50 in
1st leg (L₁) = L
2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + L
Thus, we can obtain the value of L by using the pythagoras theory as follow:
Hypo² = L₁² + L₂²
50² = L² + (2 + L)²
2500 = L² + 4 + 4L + L²
2500 = 2L² + 4L + 4
Rearrange
2L² + 4L + 4 – 2500 = 0
2L² + 4L – 2496 = 0
Coefficient of L² (a) = 2
Coefficient of L (n) = 4
Constant (c) = –2496
L = –b ± √(b² – 4ac) / 2a
L = –4 ± √(4² – 4 × 2 × –2496) / 2 × 2
L = –4 ± √(16 + 19968) / 4
L = –4 ± √(19984) / 4
L = –4 ± 141.36 / 4
L = –4 + 141.36 / 4 or –4 – 141.36 / 4
L = 137.36/ 4 or –145.36 / 4
L = 34.3 or –36.3
Since measurement can not be negative, the value of L is 34.3 in
Finally, we shall determine the lengths of the legs of the right triangle. This is illustrated below:
1st leg (L₁) = L
L = 34.4
1st leg (L₁) = 34.3 in
2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + L
L = 34.4
2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + 34.3
2nd leg (L₂) = 36.3 in
Therefore, the lengths of the legs of the right triangle are 34.3 in, 36.3 in
