Dee has collected no fewer than 388 coats for charities. She gave 64 of the coats to her church and donated the remaining coats

equally to local shelters. If Dee gives a minimum of 36 coats to each shelter, how many shelters receive coats?

Answer:

9 shelters

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 64 from the total number of coats to get the total amount of coats donated to shelters:

388 - 64 = 324

Then, divide 324 by 36, since that's the minimum number of coats given to each shelter:

324 ÷ 36 = 9

So at least 9 shelters received coats.

First observe that if a+b>0,

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + 2ab + b^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a + b)} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{\cdots}}}}

Let a=0 and b=x. It follows that

a+b = x = \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{\cdots}}}}

Now let b=1, so a^2+a=4x. Solving for a,

a^2 + a - 4x = 0 \implies a = \dfrac{-1 + \sqrt{1+16x}}2

which means

a+b = \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{1+16x}}2 = \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{4x + \sqrt{\cdots}}}}

Now solve for x.

x = \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{1 + 16x}}2 \\\\ 2x = 1 + \sqrt{1 + 16x} \\\\ 2x - 1 = \sqrt{1 + 16x} \\\\ (2x-1)^2 = \left(\sqrt{1 + 16x}\right)^2

(note that we assume 2x-1\ge0)

4x^2 - 4x + 1 = 1 + 16x \\\\ 4x^2 - 20x = 0 \\\\ 4x (x - 5) = 0 \\\\ 4x = 0 \text{ or } x - 5 = 0 \\\\ \implies x = 0 \text{ or } \boxed{x = 5}

(we omit x=0 since 2\cdot0-1=-1\ge0 is not true)

Law Incorporation [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of any pyramid is

base area × height / 3

so, since we know the base area (a square with 23 mm side length), the only trick we need to do is to get the inner height (straight up in the middle from the base area to the top of the pyramid).

because this is a regular pyramid (the top of the pyramid is right above the middle of the base area), we can use Pythagoras for right-angled triangles

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline of the triangle opposite of the 90° angle) and in our case the outer height along a side area triangle (24 mm).

the legs of that right-angled triangle are half of a base area side length (remember, the top of the pyramid is right over the middle of the base area square) and the inner height to the top.

so, we have

24² = 12.5² + height²

height² = 24² - 12.5² = 576 - 156.25 = 419.75

height = 20.48780125... mm

so, the volume of the pyramid is then

23² × 20.48780125... / 3 = 3,612.682287... mm³ ≈

≈ 3,612.7 mm³
