Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made

:

1) x + y = 26

:

2) 2x + 3y = 60

:

solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2

:

x = 26 - y

:

2(26 - y) +3y = 60

:

52 -2y +3y = 60

:

y = 8

:

x = 26 - 8 = 18

:

******************************

The team made 18 2-point shots

<h3>Answer:  4368 square feet</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below

I drew a rectangle with dimensions 56 ft by 78 ft.

Then I broke up the 56 into 50+6, and I broke up the 78 into 70+8

The reason for this is because it's fairly easy to multiply the areas of each smaller rectangle at this point

  • In the upper left corner, we have an area of 50*70 = 3500. Note how this is basically 5*7 = 35, but we tack on the two zeros (from 50 and 70 combined)
  • In the upper right corner, we have an area of 70*6 = 420
  • In the lower left corner, we have an area of 50*8 = 400
  • In the lower right corner, we have an area of 6*8 = 48

Add up all the areas found: 3500+420+400+48 = 4368

As a way to check, using your calculator shows that 56*78 = 4368

Slope of AB=(2-3)/(1+1)=-1/2; AC=(-1-3)/(-3+1)=-4/-2=2; BC=(-1-2)/(-3-1)=-3/-4=3/4.
The product of two sides that are perpendicular is -1. Slopes of AB and AC are perpendicular so angle A is a right angle. ABC is a right-angled triangle.
