A = 5 / 2 a^2 square root over 5 + 2 square root of 5
hopefully this helps you out
Take both mixed numbers (a whole number plus a fraction) and turn them into improper fractions ( a numerator (top number) bigger than the denominator (bottom number). To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number, and add the result to the numerator.
5 5/8 will become 45/8
1 1/2 will become 3/2.
Area is length* width, so width would be Area/ length. So 45/8 is the area and 3/2 is the length. Now you have (45/8)/(3/2). To divide fractions, take the second fraction and flip the numerator and denominator, forming the reciprocal (2/3). Now multiply 45/8 and 2/3
The result is 90/24, and simplifying would get 15/4, or 3 3/4. This is the width(or length)
Because these triangles are congruent, then angle a is the same degree measure as angle x; angle b is the same as y; and angle c is the same as z. We also know that, because of the Triangle Angle-sum Theorem, all the angles of a triangle have to add up to equal 180 degrees. So for us that means that a+b+c(which is also z) = 180. 50 + 2x + 40 + 4x + 8 = 180. Combining like terms we have 6x + 98 = 180. Subbtracting 98 from both sides gives us 6x = 82 and x = 13 2/3
150 = 12
150 +150 = 300 which = 24
150 + 150 + 150 = 450 which =36
the remaining 50 is 12 ÷ 3, so 4. 36 + 4 = 40.
therefore, 40 L of gasoline are needed to go 500km
