Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the constant of proportionality.  Then we use it as follows:

2k + 3k = 500, or 5k = 500, or k = 100.

Thus, the number of picture books is 2(100) = 200, and the number of chapter books is 3(100) = 300.

As checks:  200 + 300 = 500 (books), and

200

-------- = 2/3, as specified in the problem.

300

the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 26cm, if the other side 24cm. find the length of the third side​
weeeeeb [17]

You need Pythagorean theorem for this.

a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotheneus and a and b are the sides of the right triangle.

24² + x² = 26²

x² = 676-576

x = ±√100

x = 10 (-10 is rejected because length of triangle cannot be a negative number)
