Answer:

12 sapphires

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of sapphires x. This means the number of rubies is the total number of gems minus x, or 17-x.

# of Sapphires: x

# of Rubies:17-x

A sapphire is worth 5 (gold coins) each, and a ruby is worth 8.

We also know the total amount of money is 100 coins, so

5*x+8*(17-x)=100

5x+136-8x=100

-3x=-36

x=12

Remember:

# of Sapphires: x

# of Rubies:17-x

...so Lara found 12 sapphires and 17-12=5 rubies.

The length of the base of a triangle is twice it’s height. If the area of the triangle is 441 square kilometers, find the height

Sonja [21]

Answer:

21 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be $x$ . Then, the length of the base is $2x$ . The formula for the area is of the triangle is given by base*height/2. Therefore, the area of the triangle is equal to $\frac{x \cdot 2x}{2} = x^2$ , which is in turn equal to 441. Since $x$ must be positive, then $21^2=441$ , meaning that the height is $21$ kilometers.
