Anna is making a banner out of 4 congruent triangles as shown below. How much blue trim will she need for each side

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for banner

Required

The length of each blue trim

Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:

$Side\ 1 = 10$

$Side\ 2 = 14$

The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim

So:

$x^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2$

This gives

$x^2 = 10^2 + 14^2$

$x^2 = 100 + 196$

$x^2 = 296$

Take square root

$x = \sqrt{296$

$x = 17.2in$

6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars.5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars. Set up a

vitfil [10]

Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let cost of apples = x

And cost of Oranges =y

Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Step 2

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Using substitution method to solve the equation

6 x + 3y= 24

24-6x=3y

y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x

Y= 8-2x

Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2

5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23

5x+ 32 -8x= 23

32-23= 8x-5x

9=3x

x=9/3

x=3

Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y

6 x + 3y= 24

6(3) +3y= 24

18+3y=24

3y= 24-18

3y=6

y=6/3= 2

Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2
