Answer:
1/6 gallon of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of hikers = 3
Quantity of water shared = 1/2 gallon of water
If the water was shared equally among the hikers, then,
Amount of water each hiker drank = Quantity of water shared ÷ Number of hikers
= 1/2 ÷ 3
Multiply 1/6 by the reciprocal of 3
The reciprocal of 3 = 1/3
1/2 ÷ 3
= 1/2 × 1/3
= (1 * 1) / (2 * 3)
= 1/6
Amount of water each hiker drank = 1/6 gallon of water

First, find the length
L^2+W^2=D^2 )L for length, W for width, D for diagonal)
L^2=25^2-15^2=625-225=400
L=20
A=1/2 of L*W= (1/2)*20*15=150 square inches
