Answer: 6.71
=======================================
Work Shown:
The longest horizontal portion of length 6 breaks up into two equal pieces of length 3 each. Focus on the smaller right triangle on the right hand side. This right triangle has legs of 3 and 6. The hypotenuse is x.
Use the pythagorean theorem with a = 3, b = 6, c = x to find the value of x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + 6^2 = x^2
9 + 36 = x^2
45 = x^2
x^2 = 45
x = sqrt(45)
x = 6.7082039
x = 6.71
To answer this question, you do 5 2/3 divided by 1/2. First, change 5 2/3 to 17/3. Then, use the reciprocal method by doing 17/3 times 2/1, which gives you 34/3. That’s 11.3 repeating, so they can make 11 whole snowmen.
Answer:
(x, y) = (18/5, 16/5)
OR
(x, y) = (3.6, 3.2)
