First notice that the triangle with sides $x,y,a$ and the triangle with sides $z,a+b,x$ are similar. This is true because the angle between sides $x,y$ in the smaller triangle is clearly $30^\circ$ , while the angle between sides $y,z$ in the larger triangle is clearly $60^\circ$ . So the triangles are similar with sides $x,y,a$ corresponding to $a+b,z,x$ , respectively.

Now both triangles are $30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ$ , which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is $\ell_1$ , then the length of the longer leg is $\ell_2=\sqrt3\ell_1$ and the hypotenuse has length $\ell_3=\sqrt{{\ell_1}^2+{\ell_2}^2}=2\ell_1$ .

Since $x$ is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that $a+b=2x$ , so $a+b=15=2x\implies x=\dfrac{15}2$

Regina brought 8 7/8 pound of fruit for her family . She brought 3 1/2 pound of oranges and 2 3/4 pound of peaches and some appl

butalik [34]

Answer:

Regina has bought $2\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$ of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of fruit brought = $8\frac{7}{8}\ pounds$

Now given number is in mixed fraction we will convert into improper fraction.

To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, we will Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator. Add that to the numerator,Then write the result on top of the denominator.

So we can say that;

$8\frac{7}{8}\ pounds$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{71}{8}\ pounds$
