Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
Answer:
the big tank can hold 2027.37 m³of water
10 small tanks can be filled
Step-by-step explanation:
r = 11, h = 16
V = (1/3)πr²h
V = (1/3)121π(16)
1936π/3 = 2027.37
2027.37/200 = 10. 136
10 tanks
Answer:
2p × 4/5 = 8/5 or 1 ³/⁵ cups
Answer:
11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
6 7/12 - 5 2/3
=(6-5) + (7/12 - 2/3)
= 1 + 7/12 - 2*4 / 3*4
= 1 + 7/12 - 8/12
= 1 + 7-8 / 12
= 1 + -1/12
=11/12
