1500 soldiers arrive at a training camp. A few soldiers desert the camp. The drill sergeants divide the remaining soldiers into
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The number of deserters is 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.

The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.

If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.

If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.

If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.

If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:

(1431-3)/11=1428/11=129.82\\\\(1466-3)/11=1463/11=133

As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.

The deserters are 34:

D=1500-1466=34

I need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find X. I don’t know how to do that!!
frutty [35]

Answer:

17) x=8

18) x=\sqrt{189} or x= 3\sqrt{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

So the rule is a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}, "c" being the hypothenuse, or the long line that is opposite to the right angle.

17) We know that both values of x are equal to each other, which makes everything 10x easier!

                                               x^{2} +x^{2} =(8\sqrt{2})  ^{2}

(by the way we know the x values are our a and b values because they are legs! the way I like to remember the legs is that they are connected to the right angle box, and therefore support the hypothenuse)

<em>simplify</em> (╥︣﹏╥)    

                                                2x^2=8^2(\sqrt{2} )^{2}  

                                                  2x^2=64(2)

                                                   2x^2=128    

                                                  x^{2}= 128/2  

                                                     x^{2} =64

                                                        x=8      

18) Just pretend that the flipped triangle doesn't exist. It's parallel to the other triangle with values on it, and basically servers no purpose other than being parallel to the sister triangle :)

Anyways, since we know the hypothenuse (15) but we don't know one of our leg values (x), we're going to change our equation a bit!

                                                    c^{2} - b^{2} = a^{2}

It doesn't matter if you put the one leg value in a or b, just as long as you stick to that same equation you started with the entire time!

                                                   15^{2} -6^{2} =x^{2}

                                                   225-36=x^{2}  

                                                     x^{2} =189

                                               x=\sqrt{189}=3\sqrt{21}

        The more you do these, the easier they'll get, so don't worry!
