Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The last one is absurd. You can't have a ladder reaching higher than itself. The question is a Pythagorean problem.

Givens

a = 3

b = ?

c = 25 feet

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

3^2 + b^2 = 25^2

9 + b^2 = 625 Subtract 9 from both sides.

b^2 = 625 - 9

b^2 = 616 Take the square root of both sides.

b = sqrt(616)

b = 24.8

What is m∠RST? I need help on this please thank youuu

It’s an isoceles triangle so 180-64=116degrees = the sum of the other two equal angles in the triangle QRP and so angle QRP is 116÷2=58degrees, angles QRP and SRT are vertically opposite so they’re equal. The triangle SRT is also isosceles so 180-58= 122degrees = the sum of the last two equal base angles (including RST that you want to find) So lastly do 122÷2= 61degrees = angle RST

Ashley mixes two types of soft drinks with different types of concentration: one soft drink has 20% sugar and the other drink ha

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be 32.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar concentration of first drink = 20%

Volume of first soda = 250 ml

Sugar in first soda = 20% of 250 ...... (1)

Sugar concentration of second drink = 45%

Volume of second soda = 250 ml

Sugar in second soda = 45% of 250 ...... (2)

Let $x\%$ be the sugar concentration in resultant mixture.

Volume of mixture = 250 + 250 = 500 ml

Sugar in mixture = $x\%$ of 500 ml ...... (3)

Total sugar concentration (Adding (1) and (2)) and equating it to equation (3):

20% of 250 + 45% of 250 = $x\%$ of 500

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{100} \times 250 + \dfrac{45}{100} \times 250 = \dfrac{x}{100} \times 500\\\Rightarrow 2 \times x = 65\\\Rightarrow x = 32.5\%$

Hence, Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be 32.5%.
