well, let's notice something, we have two 45° angles, now each of those will give use an equal opposite side, namely if that one side is "x", the other is her twin, "x" as well.
is a right-triangle, so we can use the pythagorean theorem, and we know the sides are x,x,6.
Adam took 7 pieces so subtract it from the total.
He divided the rest to his 3 children
Each child recieved 2 candies.
The length of one side is 17 meters because 68÷4=17. The 68 is 68 meters and 4 is how many sides a square has.
Answer:
y > 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is solved the same way a 3-step equation is solved.
<u>Step 1</u>: subtract the smaller variable term from both sides.
4y -2y +3 > 2y -2y +14
2y +3 > 14
<u>Step 2</u>: subtract the constant with the variable term.
2y +3 -3 > 14 -3
2y > 11
<u>Step 3</u>: divide by the coefficient of the variable.
2y/2 > 11/2
y > 11/2

<em>Additional comment</em>
By choosing to subtract the smaller variable term in the first step (regardless of which side of the inequality it is on), we ensure that the remaining variable coefficient is positive. That means we can do step 3 without worrying about changing the direction of the inequality symbol, because we're dividing by a positive number.
Yes the triangles are similar
