The answer is 30.
8 x 5 =40
40 - 10 = 30
The area of the top of the table is 28 × 20 = 560 cm2. The area of Patty’s tiles is 8 cm2 each and the area of Jake’s tiles is 9 cm2 each. Patty will need 560 ÷ 8, or 70, tiles. Jake will need 560 ÷ 9, or about 63, tiles. So, Patty will use about 7 more tiles.
Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
I do not see the exact value, but this is the formula:
3$
Step-by-step explanation:
12$-(12$:4+12$:2)=12$-(3$+6$)=12$-9$=3$ Hope this helped!
