Answer: w=4, y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use the 30-60-90 triangle to find out what the length of w and y are. 30-60-90 triangle is a special triangle. The hypotenuse is 2x in length. It is directly opposite the right angle. The leg opposite of 60° is x√3 in length. The leg opposite of 30° is x. For all 3 legs, wherever you see x, you plug in the same number.

We can look at the figure as 2 separate triangles.

For the triangle on the right, we can see the hypotenuse is 8. Since we know the length of the hypotenuse is 2x, we can plug in 8 for 2x to find x.

2x=8

x=4

Now that we know x=4, we can directly plug it into the lengths above.

W is across from 30°. Above, we have established that the leg across from 30° has the length of x. Since x=4, w=4.

Since w=4, we can use this information to find the length of y by looking on the left triangle. Now, y is across from 30°. In the first paragraph, we stated that the leg across from 30° is x. Since we know x, we can directly plug it into this. After we plug it in, y=4.

vodka [1.7K]
P = w * .6

Explanation: First, we must determine the price per pound of watermelon. To do this, we take the cost of the watermelons, and divide it by the number of pounds. 4.38 / 7.3, which is .6. This tells us each pound costs 60 cents, or $.6. We’re trying to say “The total price of watermelon would be the amount of watermelon bought times .6.” Plug in the variables you’re given, and you get p = w * 6.

How much bigger is 3/8 than 1/3 answer as a fraction
alekssr [168]
You would first need to find a common denominator for 3/8 and 1/3 the common denominator would be 24 because 8 times three is 24 and 3 times 8 is 24. After you find your common denominator your fraction becomes 9/24 + 8/24. This gives you 17/24.
