Answer:

Hypothenus = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that the triangles are congruent (i.e same size). Thus,

AC = EF

BC = DE

To obtain the length of each Hypothenus, we shall determine the value of y and x. This can be obtained as follow:

For y:

AC = y + 3

EF = 2y + 1

AC = EF

y + 3 = 2y + 1

Collect like terms

3 – 1 = 2y – y

2 = y

y = 2

For x:

BC = 5x + 7

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

DE = 6x + 2(2)

DE = 6x + 4

BC = DE

5x + 7 = 6x + 4

Collect like terms

7 – 4 = 6x – 5x

3 = x

x = 3

Finally, we shall determine the length of each Hypothenus. This can be obtained as follow:

Hypothenus = BC

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

x = 3

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

Hypothenus = 5(3) + 7

Hypothenus = 15 + 7

Hypothenus = 22

Hypothenus = DE

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

x = 3

Hypothenus = 6(3) + 2(2)

Hypothenus = 18 + 4

Hypothenus = 22

Describe the likelihood of an event as impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely or certain. 21) There is a 0% chance of pick

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

21) There is a 0% chance of picking a 13 in a deck of cards. Impossible.

If there is a 0% chance that something will happen then it is impossible.

22) There is a 50% chance of picking a red card in a deck of cards. Equally likely.

If there is a 50% chance that something will happen, it is equally likely that it will happen.

23) There is an 80% chance of snow tomorrow. Likely or certain.

If there is an 80% chance of something happening, it means that the chances of that thing happening good and the event is likely to occur.

24) There is a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. Unlikely.

A low chance of 20% means that something is unlikely to occur.

To solve this problem, we need to first find the dimensions of the side of the blue and purple squares.

We're given that the purple (smaller) square has a side length of x inches.
We are also given that the blue band has a width of 5 inches.
Since the blue band surrounds the purple square on both sides, the length of the blue square is x+2(5)=x+10 inches.

The net area of the band is therefore the difference of the area of the blue square and the purple square, namely take out the area of the purple square from the blue.

Therefore
Area of band
$=(x+10)^2-x^2$ [recall $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$
$=x^2+20x+100-x^2$
$=20x+100$ or 20(x+5) if you wish.

TiliK225 [7]

First, 5/3 = 1.6
21 x 1.6 = 34.99999999
But, when I put it in a calculator, the 1.6 was repeated so:
Round 34.99999999 to 35
35 books

What is... 4X + 1/2 (4X + 6) = 12

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

9/6 or 3/2 or 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Do distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis

4x + 2x + 3 = 12

combine like terms

6x + 3 = 12

move the 3 over by subtraction

6x = 9

divide by 6

x = 9/6 or 3/2 or 1 1/2
