<h3>
Answer: A) z = 12</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown:
RS = RT
2z-15 = 9
2z = 9+15
2z = 24
z = 24/2
z = 12
The reason why RS is equal to RT in the first equation is because we have an isosceles triangle. Recall that any isosceles triangle has exactly two sides the same length, and the opposite base angles are congruent to one another. The congruent angles are indicated with the single arcs.
In short: the base angles S and T are congruent, so the opposite sides RS and RT are the same length. This leads to RS = RT.
Answer: Option D. 1,778
Solution:
Standard brick:
Width: w=3.625 in
Height: h=2.25 in
Length: l=7.625 in
Volumen of one standard brick: v
v=w*h*l
v=(3.625 in)*(2.25 in)*(7.625 in)
v=62.19140625 in^3
Pallet of bricks:
Side: s=4 feet
s=(4 feet)*(12 in / 1 feet)→s=48 in
Volume of a pallet of bricks: V=s^3
V=(48 in)^3
V=110,592 in^3
Number of bricks could be in a pallet: n
n=V/v
n=(110,592 in^3) / (62.19140625 in^3)
n=1,778.252119
n=1,778
B^n / b^m = b^(n - m)
4^5 / 4^2 = 4^(5 - 2) = 4^3
