Make a box, multiply, then add
Answer:
17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 =c^2
a= 9 , b= 15, c= x
9^2 + 15^2 = c^2
= c^2
c= 17.493 or 17.5 rounded to the nearest tenth
Answer:
10 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.
x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)
(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)
The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.
x = 25 - y
1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y
6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y
6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)
y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions
y1 = 15
y2 = 10
Thus we have
:
First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10
Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15
The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).
Since 100 is 25*4. Then you would multiply 17 by 4. To get your answer. 68%
Hope this helps!
