Answer:

The number of pounds that will fit in each bag is 2/3 pounds of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the amount of pounds that will fit in each bag

What we have to do here is to divide the total number of pounds of flour, by the number of bags filled

We have this as;

2 3/4 divided by 4 1/8

This is;

11/4 divided by 33/8

= 11/4 * 8/33 = 2/3 pounds

Triangle A C D is shown. A line is drawn from point D to point B on side A C to form a right angle. Line A D is labeled s. The l
devlian [24]

Answer:

s = 17units

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are trying to find a specific unknown side length.

We're actually given some extraneous information (information that is not needed to solve the problem):  <em>It isn't necessary to know that BC is 5.</em>

If the side AD with the unknown length is part of a right triangle (the triangle in red in the attached diagram), we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for AD.

It isn't clear if the diagram you were provided gives ∠ABD as a right angle,  if it only gives ∠CBD as a right angle, or if it gives both as a right angle.  Below, we prove that it doesn't matter, because regardless, both must be right angles.

<u>Is Triangle ABD a "right triangle"?</u>

Since B is between A and C, then the two angles ∠ABD & ∠CBD form a linear pair, and by the linear pair postulate are supplementary.  Since they are supplementary, their measures add to 180°.  Using the fact that all right angles are 90°, substitution, the subtraction property of equality, arithmetic, the measure of ∠ABD is also 90°, and thus must be a right angle.  Thus, based on the given information, both ∠ABD & ∠CBD must be right angles.

Consequently, triangle ABD is a right triangle, by definition (it is a triangle that has a right angle).

<u>Pythagorean Theorem</u>

Since triangle ABD is a right triangle, the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} where "c" is the hypotenuse (the side across from the right angle) and "a" and "b" the the lengths of the two other sides (called legs) of the right triangle.  (<em>Aside: Because of the commutative property of addition, it doesn't matter which of the two legs' lengths is used for a, and which is used for b.  The only thing that is required is that "c" be the length of the hypotenuse</em>)

In our triangle, side AD, with unknown length "s" is the length of our hypotenuse, and sides AB and BD are the two legs.  Substituting values into the Pythagorean Theorem equation, we can solve for the unknown "s":

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

(8)^{2} +(15)^{2} =(s)^{2}

64 +225 =s^{2}

289 =s^{2}

Applying the square root property...

\pm \sqrt{289} =\sqrt{s^{2}}

s=17 \text{ or } s=-17

<u>Final Solution</u>

We discard the negative solution we obtained, since s represents the length of the side of a triangle.

s = 17units
