Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
Answer:
11 coins for $1.99
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum total less than $2 is $1.99. It takes 11 coins to make that total. It would take 1 fewer if the nickel were not required.
Starting with the minimum required coins, which total $0.91, we need to add $1.08 using a minimum number of coins. To minimize the added coins, we start with the largest we can use without going over the total: 2×50¢ + 1×5¢ + 3×1¢. These 6 coins added to the required 5 coins give the desired total using 11 coins.
11 coins: $1.99 . . . . (3×50¢ +1×25¢ +1×10¢ +2×5¢ +4×1¢)
$1.99 is the highest possible total less than $2.00, and it takes a minimum of 11 coins to make that total.
