You can use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

a=9

b=b

c=41

9^2+b^2=41^2

81+b^2=1681

b^2=1600

b=+/-40

but since this is a geometric scenario, answers will only lie in the positive real number set. That's why answer is +40 or C.

A shipment of 8 tons of sugar is separated into containers of equal size. If the shipment fills 3 1/3 containers, how much sugar

liubo4ka [24]

Take 8 and divide it by 3 1/3. to make it easer 1/3 could be .3 as a decimal.
so 8 divided by 3.3.
8/3.3= 2.42
so it would be 2.42 tons of sugar per container.

Find values of x and y for which ABCD must be a parallelogram. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

Arturiano [62]

ANSWER
$x=4, y=8$

EXPLANATION

If ABCD is a parallelogram, then

line AB is parallel to line DC .

This means that,

$(x + 2) \degree$
and

$(2x - 2) \degree$
are alternating angles.

Alternate angles are congruent.

This implies that,

$2x - 2 = x + 2$

We group like terms to obtain,

$2x - x = 2 + 2$

This simplifies to,

$x = 4$

Also, if ABCD is a parallelogram then,

BC is parallel to AD. This means that,

$5y - 8 = y + 24$

We group like terms to get,

$5y - y = 24 + 8$

This simplifies to,

$4y = 32$

We divide both side by 4 to get,

$y = 8$
