Answer:
6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of ounces of the 15% alcohol solution needed to be mixed with the 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain the 17% alcohol solution.
After converting the percentages to their decimal equivalents, set up the necessary equation as follows:
0.15x+0.20(4) = (x+4)(0.17) Simplify and solve for x.
0.15x+0.8 = 0.17x+0.68 Subtract 0.15x from both sides.
0.8 = 0.02x+0.68 Now subtract 0.68 from both sides.
0.12 = 0.02x Finally, divide both sides by 0.02
x = 6
You need to mix 6 ounces of 15% alcohol solution with 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain 10 (x+4)ounces of 17% alcohol solution.
If you cross mulitply the answer would be 13.3
A = (h * b) / 2
A = 200
h = 4b
200 = (b(4b) / 2
200 * 2 = b * 4b
400 = 4b^2
400 / 4 = b^2
100 = b^2
sqrt 100 = b
10 = b ..... base is 10 cm
h = 4b
h = 4(10)
h = 40 <=== height is 40 cm
