• Imagine we are using these two points to draw a triangle where new point E is a right angle with coordinates (-1, -9)
• FE = 5
• EC = 4
• FE^2 + EC^2 = FC^2
• (25) + (16) = 41 = FC^2
• FC = square root(41)
Part 1: 4 quarts in a gallon
4 * 5 = 20 quarts
Part 2: 20 * 2 = 40
They will make $40.00
Answer:
x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day
y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = days he reads for 4.5 hours
y = days he reads for 3.5 hours
x + y = 7 (1)
4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)
From (1)
x = 7 - y
Substitute x = 7 - y into (2)
4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)
4.5(7 - y) + 3.5y = 25.5
31.5 - 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5
- 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5 - 31.5
-y = -6
y = 6
Substitute y = 6 into (1)
x + y = 7 (1)
x + 6 = 7
x = 7 - 6
x = 1
x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day
y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days
