Mathematics

Answer:

The correct answer is - 45.56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

chicken weighs = 31 lbs

left clean meat = 14 lbs and 2 oz or 14+2/16

Formula:

A reasonable assumption for the definition of 'yield percent' is :

= (lbs of edible product) / (lbs of product as-purchased) * 100%

Solution:

Putting the values in the given formula:

= (14 + 2/16) / (31) * 100

= 14.125 / 31 * 100

= 45.56% (or 45.6% when rounded to one decimal place).

Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The first set: 8, 15, and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the pythagorean theorem, a triangle is a right triangle if and only if

$\text{longest side}^2 = \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

In this case,

$\text{longest side}^2 = 17^2 = 289$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 8^2 + 15^2\\ &=64 + 225 = 289 \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, indeed $\text{hypotenuse}^2 = \text{first leg}^2 + \text{second leg}^2$ . Hence, 8, 15, 17 does form a right triangle.

Similarly, check the other pairs. Keep in mind that the square of the longest side should be equal to the sum of the square of the two

Factor out the common factor $2$ to simplify the calculations.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 20^2 = 400$

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 10^2 + 15^2\\ &=100 + 225 = 325 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = (2\times 11)^2 = 2^2 \times 121$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= (2 \times 6)^2 + (2 \times 9)^2\\ &=2^2 \times(36 + 81) = 2^2 \times 117 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 11^2 = 121$ .

<h3> $\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 7^2 + 9^2\\ &=49+ 81 = 130 \end{aligned}$ .</h3>

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

A book exhibition was held for four days in a schoolthe number of tickets sold at the counter on the first secend third and four

bija089 [108]

Answer:

7707 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we know that:

the number of tickets sold at the counter on

First day = 1094 tickets

Second day = 1812 tickets

Third day = 2050 tickets

Fourth day = 2751 tickets

The total number of tickets sold on all the four days is calculated as:

(1094 + 1812 + 2050 + 2751)tickets

= 7707 tickets
