Answer:
17) x=8
18) or
Step-by-step explanation:
So the rule is , "c" being the hypothenuse, or the long line that is opposite to the right angle.
17) We know that both values of x are equal to each other, which makes everything 10x easier!
(by the way we know the x values are our a and b values because they are legs! the way I like to remember the legs is that they are connected to the right angle box, and therefore support the hypothenuse)
<em>simplify</em> (╥︣﹏╥)
x=8
18) Just pretend that the flipped triangle doesn't exist. It's parallel to the other triangle with values on it, and basically servers no purpose other than being parallel to the sister triangle :)
Anyways, since we know the hypothenuse (15) but we don't know one of our leg values (x), we're going to change our equation a bit!
It doesn't matter if you put the one leg value in a or b, just as long as you stick to that same equation you started with the entire time!
The more you do these, the easier they'll get, so don't worry!
Answer:
1. 10 square yards
2. $9.10
3. 36 girls
4. 20 cherries
5. 159 bracelets
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The area of this figure would be the area of the SQUARE minus the area of the RECTANGLE (taken out).
The middle part is taken out (this is a rectangle).
View this as a square with sides 4 by 4 with a rectangle portion taken out. So the area can be said as:
Area = Area of Whole Square - Area of Middle Rectangle Taken Out
Lets calculate:
Area of Whole Square:
side * side = 4 * 4 = 16
Now,
Area of Middle Rectangle Taken Out:
Length * Width
The length is given as 3
The width would be 4 - two 1 from two sides, that is 4 - 1 - 1 = 2
So, area = 3 * 2 = 6
Area of figure = 16 - 6 = 10 square yards

We have to find 20% of the bill.
The bill was 45.50 and we have to find 20% of 45.50.
We first convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100:
20% = 20/100 = 0.20
Now we multiply this decimal with the bill to get our desired answer:
0.20 * 45.50 = $9.10
The tip is $9.10

The ratio of boys (b) to girls (g) would be 2 is to 3.
There are 24 boys.
We can set up a ratio (fraction) with boys on top and girls on bottom.
Then we equate it with actual number of boys and girls (let it be g). So the ratio set-up would be:
To solve for g, the number of girls, we have to cross multiply and use algebra to solve. The process is shown below:
There are 36 girls in sixth grade

For every "9" lemon, there are "4" cherries.
There are 45 lemons
If we think of "9" lemons as a "box", how many boxes of lemons are there?
45/9 = 5
Similarly, there would be "5" boxes of cherries. But there are "4" cherries per box. So there are:
4 * 5 = 20 cherries
We can also set up a ratio of cherry to lemon as 4 is to 9 and equate it with actual cherries (let it be "c") and lemons (45). Cross multiply and use algebra to solve for cherries ("c"). Algebra process shown below:
See, we have the same answer, 20 cherries!

Number sold total = 14 + 27 + 45 = 86
She still has 73 in her stock
So, she basically started with whatever she now has (73) and whatever she has sold the 3 days (86), that would be:
73 + 86 = 159 bracelets
Tia started with 159 bracelets
