A car can travel for a distance of 350 miles in = 20 gallons
The car can travel for a distance of 1 mile in = (20/350) gallons
                                                                        = 2/35 gallons
Then
The same car can travel for a distance of 875 miles in = (2/35) * 875 gallons
                                                                                        = 1750/35 gallons
                                                                                        = 50 gallons
So it can be seen that 50 gallons of gasoline is required to travel for a distance of 875 miles. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Find the length of a rectangle with a diagonal of 10 and a height of 8.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal of a rectangle is 10 and the height is 8.

Please understand, that a diagonal, divides the rectangle into two tringles.

To find the length of the rectangle, you can use Pythagoras on one of the right sided triangles, because the length of the triangle, is also the length of the rectangle!

<em>EXTRA:</em>

<em>If</em><em> you know the special 3 4 5 triangle, a so called Pythagorean Triple, then you can "see" the simularity between the numbers.</em>

<em>Instead of 5, a diagonal of 10 is given (factor of 2 bigger).</em>

<em>Instead of 4, the height of 8 is given (factor of 2 bigger</em><em>)</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>By scaling the Pythagorean Triple 3 4 5 by a factor of 2, you get the numbers 6 8 10. Could it be, that the number we need to find, is six?</em>

Try to verify, by calculating the missing number (which is the length of the rectangle we are looking for).

a² + b² = c²

a = length (and is unknown)

b = height = 8

c = hypothenusa/diagonal = 10

Substitute the numbers given:

a² + 8² = 10²

Subtract 8² left and right of the = sign.

a² +8² -8² = 10² - 8²

a² + 0 = 100 - 64

a² = 36

a = + - √36

a = + - 6

<em>EXTRA</em><em>:</em>

<em>You</em><em> can ignore the -√36 = -6 part of the solution, because a length of -6 has no meaning here.</em>

a = 6

So, the length of the triangle is 6 and thus, the length of the rectangle is also 6.

if i I wanted to be precise, how can I express the exact circumference for the circumference given the diameter
sveticcg [70]
The formula for circumference is \pi d.

To express the circumference exactly, plug the diameter in for d and put the \pi symbol in front of it. Don't multiply. This expresses the exact circumference.

Say you have the diameter of 17.
You can express the circumference with 17\pi.
