5. a^2 + b^2 = c^2...where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
7^2 + 10^2 = c^2
49 + 100 =c^2
149 = c^2....take square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sq rt 149 = c
12.21 = c.....so the approximate length of 3rd side is 12 m
6. x = number of books bought
7. m < 2 + m < 8 = 180
8. 1000 = 400 + 24x
1000 - 400 = 24x
600 = 24x
600/24 = x
25 = x <=== 25 months he will have spent $ 1000
X/4 = 8
multiply both sides by 4 to get the value of x
x=32
We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25
We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00
And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale
Let the amount earned by Dale be x
⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1
If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1
Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25
We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.
Hence, the amounts earned are:
Dale: $9.35
Doug: $8.52
Dawn: $8.25
Greater than. For example if you multiply 2 by 3/5 the answer is 1 1/5 which is greater than 3/5
