Answer:

Initial mass = 25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(\frac{x}{x+20}\right)\:=\:\:\left(\frac{x}{x+5}\:-.3\:\right)

x = 20 (mass of copper)

\frac{20}{20+5}  = .8 = 80 percent

\\\frac{20}{20+15}  = .5 = 50 percent

The length of two sides of a triangle are 10, 15 find the range of possible lengths for the third side
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Range for third side is  

( 5 , 25 )  cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

As two sides of triangle are  10  and  15 ,

the third side would have to be less than the sum of other two sides i.e. less than  25  cm.

On the other hand if it is smaller one than this side plus side of length  10

should be greater than  15  and therefore

this side is greater than  15 − 10 = 5  cm.

Hence range is  

( 5 , 25 )

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day
