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.

Joelle ordered 12 dozen doughnuts for the honor roll
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The answer is there are 30 glazed donuts

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 12 donuts to a dozen therefore 12 * 12 = 144 donuts all together.

donuts with chocolate icing

144 \times  \frac{3}{8}  = 54

with white icing and sprinkles

144 \times \frac{1}{4}  = 36

donuts with pink icing

144 \times  \frac{1}{6}  = 24

Total donuts minus donuts with icing equal glazed donuts

144 - 54 - 36 - 24 = 30
