Answer:
1425 square kilometer.
Step-by-step explanation:
2900 - 8.5% = 2653.5
2653.5 - 8.5% = 2427.9525
2427.9525 - 8.5% = 2221.5765375
2221.5765375 - 8.5% = 2032.74253181
2032.74253181 - 8.5% = 1859.95941661
1859.95941661 - 8.5% = 1701.8628662
1701.8628662 - 8.5% = 1557.20452257
1557.20452257 - 8.5% =1 424.84213815 ≈ 1425
Answer:
Amount of vinegar. 100% : 20 milliliters
Amount of Italian dressing: 140 milliliters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call A the amount of vinegar. 100%
Let's call B the amount of Italian dressing . 12% vinegar
The resulting mixture should have 23% vinegar, and 160 milliliters.
Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:


Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -1 and add it to the second equation:


+

--------------------------------------



We substitute the value of B into one of the two equations and solve for A.


Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (opposite the right angle)
20^2 +b^2 = 29^2
400 + b^2 =841
Subtract 400 from each side
400-400 +b^2 = 841-400
b^2 = 441
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)
b = 21
Note that √2 + √2 = 2√2
2/(2√2) = (√2)/2 = 0.707 (simplified)
0.707 is your answer
