Step-by-step explanation:
y is easy.
it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.
so, Pythagoras :
y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100
y = 10
x is a bit more complex.
I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.
so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have
x = a + b = 6 + b
height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)
therefore,
6b = height² = 8² = 64
b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...
so,
x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...
round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67
Rise is 3 and run is 3.5 so its 3/3.5
Answer:
blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
If it takes 15 minutes to walk 7 1/2 blocks, it should be 15:17
The left side is minutes and the right side is the number of blocks
15:17
1: ? Since we are figuring out how many blocks he can walk in a minute, the left side is 1 and the right side is a question mark because we have not figured it out yet.
15: 17 Divide by 15 on both sides because that is the "distance" from 15 to1
1 : ?
1:
So the answer is
Answer:
$4.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio:
2.79:16.4 = x:25
16.4 × x
2.79 × 25
Cross multiply: 16.4x = 69.75
Then divide: 69.75 ÷ 16.4 = $4.25
