Step-by-step explanation:
an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.
2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.
that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.
so,
42 × f = 6
f = 6/42 = 1/7
the length of Joel's shadow is then
20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft
Answer:
<u>The number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pens x, and the number of pencils is y
the cost of one pen $1, and the cost of one pencil $0.5
The cost of the whole purchase was $220
1 * x + 0.5 * y = 220
x + 0.5 y = 220 ⇒ eq.(1)
there were 80 more pencils than pens
y - x = 80 ⇒ eq.(2)
from eq.(2) x = y - 80
By substitution with x from the last equation at eq.(1)
∴ (y - 80) + 0.5 y = 220
1.5y = 220 + 80 = 300
y = 300/1.5 = 200
x = y - 80 = 200 - 80 = 120
<u>So, the number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
Answer:
Answer: A as you have indicated.
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- There are two sides that are 3.1 cm in length
- There are two sides that are 6.2 cm in length
Formula
- P = 2*(b + a)
- where b is the base and
- where a is the side
Solution
- P = 2*(6.2 + 3.1) Add what is inside the brackets
- P = 2*9.3 Multiply
- P = 18.6
Answer A
48 divided by 3 = 16
16 ounces of trail mix altogether in one bag.
There were only 5 ounces of raisins so 16 - 5 = 11. There are 11 ounces of almonds in each bag of trail mix.
