Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base =
x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
(
x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
You can buy 7 waffle cones.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let sundae = x
Let waffle cones = y
4.25x + 3.75y ≤ 50
4.25 (5) + 3.75y ≤ 50
21.25 + 3.75y ≤ 50
3.75y ≤ 28.75
y ≤ 7.666666666
* round to the nearest whole to get 7
To do it without a calculator:
10% of 67 is 6.7
6.7 x 8 is 53.6 (80%)
1% of 67 is .67
53.6 - .67 is 52.93 (79%)
