Answer:

Total number of dimes collected = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes collected = d

And the number of nickels collected = n

On day collection in nickels and dimes = $6.55

Since, 1 nickel = $0.05

Therefore, 'n' nickels = 0.05n

And 1 dimes = $0.10

Value of 'd' dimes = $0.10d

Total value of 'n' nickels and 'd' dimes = $(0.05n + 0.10d)

So the equation for the total value will be,

0.05n + 0.10d = 6.55

5n + 10d = 655 --------(1)

Number of nickels was 6 more than half the number of dimes.

n = \frac{d}{2} + 6 ------(2)

By substituting the value 'n' from equation (2) to equation (1)

5(\frac{d}{2} + 6) + 10d = 655

\frac{5d}{2} + 30 + 10d = 655

\frac{25d}{2} = 655 - 30

25d = 625 × 2

d = \frac{1250}{25}

d = 50

Therefore, total number of dimes collected = 50

Answer:

<u>Use Pythagorean theorem:</u>

  • a² + b² = c²

#7

  • 3² + 7² = 9 + 49 = 58
  • (√57)² = 57
  • 58 ≠ 57
  • No

#8

  • 11² + 2² = 121 + 4 = 125
  • (5√5)² = 25*5 = 125
  • 125 = 125
  • Yes

MrRa [10]

tan 52 = 180/a; a = 180/tan 52

tan 43 = 180/b; b = 180/tan 43

you need to calculate, a-b = 180/tan 52 - 180/tan 43

substitute the value of tan thetas, and calculate it simply...

Prove that 7 + 3 root 2 is not a rational number​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where

7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]

3√2= a/b-7

3√2 =( a-7b) /b

√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)

Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.
