Answer:

x =10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem om one of the right triangle;

(√74)² = (x/2)²+7²

74 = (x/2)²+49

(x/2)² = 74 - 49

(x/2)² = 25

Square root both sides

√ (x/2)² = ±√25

x/2 = ±5

x = 2 * ±5

x = ±10

Hence the value of x is 10

Kimane and a friend picked apples. Kimane picked 4 2/3 and his friend picked 5 5/6 pounds. About how many pound of apples do the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$9\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = $4\dfrac{2}{3}$

Friend = $5\dfrac{5}{6}$

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = $4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}$

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

$=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the $/dfrac{2}{3}$ into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So now we have:

$=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

$20-10\dfrac{1}{2}$
