Hey there!
In order to solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is 
. Since the Pythagorean Theorem would find only half of the length of x, we'll need to double it in the end.
First, let's plug in what we know to the Pythagorean Theorem: 
Next, we'll simplify to that 
is by itself:
Then, we'll find the square root of 2.45, multiply that by 2 and round to the nearest tenth:
Therefore, x = 3.1 ft.
How to round to the nearest tenth:
In a decimal, the tenth is the first number after the decimal point. To round to the tenth, if the number in the hundredth place is less than 5, you keep the number as it is, but if the number in the hundredth place is more than 5, you increase the number in the tenth place by 1.
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
Betty got $180
Step-by-step explanation:
If its 2:3 and 2 is 120, that means 120/2 equals 60. 60*3=180
You can set up a proportion to solve for the percentage of the coins that are pennies. Of course, there are alternate methods as well, but this is one method. First, you define the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be equal to a variable, such as x. Next, you write 240/600 = x/100, due to how "x" is the amount out of 100 (since per cent is for every cent (out of 100)), and 240 would correspond to x while 600 would correspond to 100. This proportion may also be written as 100/x = 600/240, or 240/x = 600/100. In order to solve for x, you use cross-products, or you multiply each denominator by the numerator of the other fraction. You will be left with a numerical value that's equal to a number times x, and then you divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x in order to isolate x. As a result, you will have the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be your answer. Remember to write the units for every numerator and denominator in your proportion.
You can find the answer by adding the two packages and subtracting them by 5.
2 1/2+2 3/5=5 1/10
5 1/10-5=1/10
Yolonda will have 1/10 left over.
Your answer should be 2.22
