5000 grams are equal to 5 kilograms
You can let the sides be a and b. You can then use the Law of Sines to create an equation relating the two sides and the angles opposite them, and finally isolate a/b.
In step two he flipped the fraction back to how it was originally but he was supposed to leave it improper in order to multiply
The new equation is
<em>Y = (x-8)² </em>.
The other way to write it is like this: (you might not recognize it in this form)
Y = x² - 16x + 64
multiply 14 x 2.54
14 x 2.54 = 35.56 centimeters
