Answer:

The barge can carry up to 94 railroad cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an inequality to represent the weight of the barge to the max weight.

24 + 4r ≤ 400

Solve for r:

4r ≤ 400 - 24

4r ≤ 376

4r ≤ 376/4

r ≤ 94

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 7 inches longer than the base and 14 inches longer than the height. the permeter of the tr
emmainna [20.7K]
To determine the area of a triangle, we calculate one half of the product of the base and the height of the triangle so we need data on its base and its height. We are given the following:

Hypotenuse = 7 + base = 14 + height
Perimeter = 84 inches

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of the three sides of the triangle which are the height, base and hypotenuse. So,

Perimeter = height + base + hypotenuse = 84

We let x = height and y = base. We calculate area as follows:

84 = x + y + (7 + y)
77 = x + 2y
x = 77 -2y

Hypotenuse is related to the other sides by the Pythagorean theorem.

Hypotenuse^2 = (x^2 + y^2)
(14 + x)^2 = x^2 + y^2
(14 + (77-2y))^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2
(91-2y)^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2

Solving for y and x
y = 28
x = 21

Area = (28)(21) / 2 = 294 square inches

Need help with number 26, multi-step!!
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$204.11

Step-by-step explanation:

He is paying 70% of the original cost, so he is paying

269.99(0.7) = $188.99

He has to pay 8% sales tax on that discount price, so he pays

$188.99(0.08) = $15.12 tax

for a total of

$188.99 + $15.12 = $204.11
