Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides( two legs and one hypotenuse).

By pythagoras we know that

h^2= a^2+b^2.

and the perimeter is P=h+a+b.

Since P=24 and a=6  we have these equations:

h^2=36+b^2\\24=h+6+b

From the last equation we have h=18-b. Replace h in the first equation we get that

(18-b)^2=36+b^2

18^2-36b+b^2=36+b^2\\288=36b\\b=\frac{288}{36}=8

and h=18-8=10

Nima uses 2/3 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup cashews, 3/4 cups pecans, and some raisinsin a recipe that makes 2 1/4 cups of trail mix. How
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

8/27 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Nima uses 2/3 cups of peanuts to make a recipe of 2 1/4 = 9/4 cups of trail mix. If we want to find how many cups of peanuts are there per cup of trail mix, we can do a rule of three:

If 9/4 cups of trail mix need 2/3 cups of peanuts, 1 cup of trail mix need X cups of peanuts:

9/4 cups of trail mix -> 2/3 cups of peanuts

1 cup of trail mix -> X cups of peanuts

9/4 / 1 = 2/3 / X

9/4 = 2/(3*X)

3*X*9 = 4*2

27*X = 8

X = 8/27 cups
