There are 18 animals. Some cows and some ducks with a total of 60 legs. How many cows and how many ducks?

1 answer:

5 0

X + Y = 18
X=chickens, Y=Cows
2x + 4y = 60
Let's try 8 and 10.
16 + 40=56, no, 32+20=52, no. 8&10 do not work.
Let's try 9 and 9.
18+36=54, no. 9&9 do not work.
Let's try 11 & 7.
22+28=50, no. 14+44=58, no.
Let's try 12 & 6.
24+24=48, no. 12+48=60 YES!
There are 12 cows and 6 chickens.

For each figure answer the following questions

Rudiy27

9514 1404 393

Answer:

a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity

b) ED/AB = 3/4

c) 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)

b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.

c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...

DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)

x = 3/4(20 cm)

x = 15 cm
