Deductive thinking: When you start with a given set of rules and conditions and determine what must be true as a consequence.
So the answer is true.
Answer:
In geometry, an obtuse scalene triangle can be defined as a triangle whose one of the angles measures greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees and the other two angles are less than 90 degrees.
Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins:
One dime = $0.10
One quarter = $0.25
Let x = number of dimes
y<span> = number of quarters</span>
Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that:
<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y)
Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that:
0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40
To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y)
0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40
7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40
0.15y = 5.40
y = 36
X = 70 – 36
X = 34
Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span>
34 dimes = $3.40
36 dimes = $9.00
<span>Total </span><span>$12.40</span>
Volume is equal mass by density
