2). ΔACD and ΔBCD are right              2). Definition of right triangles.

    triangles.

3). a² = (c - x)² + h²                                 3). Pythagoras theorem

4). a² = c² + x² - 2cx + h²                       4). Square the binomial.

5). b² = x² + h²                                       5). Pythagoras theorem.

6). cos(x) = \frac{x}{a}                                           6). definition of cosine ratio for an angle

7). bcos(A) = x                                        7). Multiplication property of equality.

8). a² = c² - 2c(bcosA) + b²                    8). Substitution property

9). a² = b² + c² - 2bc(cosA)                    9). Commutative properties of

104 pounds requires 156 milligrams of medicine what is the weight of a patient who requires 207 milligrams of medicine
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

138 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required weight of the patient be x pounds.

We have that,

156 milligrams of medicine is required for a patient weighing 104 pounds.

Then, 207 milligrams of medicine will be required for a patient having weight as shown below,

Weight of the patient = \frac{104 \times 207}{156}

i.e. x = \frac{21528}{156}

i.e. x = 138

Hence, the patient needing 207 milligrams of medicine will have the weight 138 pounds.
