Answer:

FH = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔGHE is a 5-12-13 triangle.

ΔEHF is a 3-4-5 triangle with a scale factor of 4, so side FH is 4·4 = 16 units.

_____

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17) are all commonly used Pythagorean triples. The first two on the list are used in these triangles.

If you like, you can work out the numbers using the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

For ΔEHG, that is ...

GE² = EH² + HG²

13² = EH² + 5²

EH² = 13² -5² = 169 -25 = 144

And for ΔEHF, ...

FE² = EH² +HF²

20² = 144 + HF²

400 -144 = HF² = 256

HF = √256 = 16

The length of side FH is 16 units.

sammy [17]

X - pounds of the M&M`s;
y - pounds of the peanuts
x + y = 30
3 x + 2 y = 74
----------------------
y = 30 - x
3 x + 2 ( 30 - x ) = 74
3 x + 60 - 2 x = 74
x = 74 - 60
x = 14
Answer:
They bought 14 pounds of M&M`s.

Kierston needs to paint a wall of the youth center. She knows that 1 can of paint covers an area of 2.2 square meters. Kierston

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1\ can = 2.2m^2$

Required

Determine the number of cans for the wall

The dimension of the wall is not given. So, I will use the following assumed values:

$Length=20m$

$Width = 44m$

First, calculate the area of the wall

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = 20m * 44m$

$Area = 880m^2$

If $1\ can = 2.2m^2$

Then $x = 880m^2$

Cross Multiply:

$x * 2.2m^2 = 1 * 880m^2$

$x * 2.2m^2 = 880m^2$

$x * 2.2 = 880$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{880}{2.2}$

$x = 400$

400 cans using the assume dimensions.

So, all you need to to is, get the original values and follow the same steps
