Answer:

7.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sand to cement = 24kg : 5kg

Today he needs to make the same type of mortar mix, but he will use 36kg of sand.

Let

x = quantity of cement used

Ratio of sand to cement = 36 kg : x kg

Equate both ratios

24 kg : 5 kg = 36 kg : x kg

24/5 = 36/x

Cross product

24 * x = 5 * 36

24x = 180

x = 180/24

x = 7.5

x = quantity of cement used = 7.5 kg

A right triangle has an area of 18 The length of each leg is 6 inches. If the triangle is not an isosceles triangle, what are al
ladessa [460]

Given:

Area of a right triangle = 18 sq. inches

Length of one leg = 6 inches

To find:

The length of another leg.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height

In a right angle triangle, the area of the triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times leg_1\times leg_2

Putting A=18 and leg_1=6, we get

18=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\times leg_2

18=3\times leg_2

Divide both sides by 3.

\dfrac{18}{3}=leg_2

6=leg_2

Both legs are equal so the given triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

If the triangle is not isosceles triangle, then the length of legs are factors of 36 because half of 36 is 18.

Therefore, the possible pairs of legs are 1 and 36, 2 and 18, 3 and 12, 4 and 9, 6 and 6, 9 and 4, 12 and 3, 18 and 2, 36 and 1.
