Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel's house, his parents house, and grandparents house can be expressed as the three vertices of a right angled triangle. Thus, Pythagoras theorem can be applied to determine the distance from Manual's house to that of his grandparents.

Let the distance from Manuel's house to that of his grandparents be represented by x, so that;

/Hyp/^{2} = /Adj 1/^{2} + /Adj 2/^{2}

/10/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /6/^{2}

100 = x^{2} + 36

x^{2} = 100 - 36

   = 64

⇒ x = \sqrt{64}

      = 8

x = 8 miles

Thus, Manuel's house is 8 miles from his grandparents house.

Find the area of the following triangle. Show each of the math steps that you use to find the area. Then explain how to go about
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Semi perimeter:-

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail s=\dfrac{1.8+2.4+3}{2}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail s=\dfrac{7.2}{2}=3.6cm

Apply heron s formula

Area:-

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{3.6(3.6-1.8)(3.6-3)(3.6-2.4)}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{3.6(1.8)(0.6)(1.2)}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \sqrt{4.6656}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 2.16cm^2

iren [92.7K]
Answer: 3 Bags

If you go from using 1 egg to 3 eggs, you are multiplying the amount you use by 3. If you multiply 1/3 by 3, you get 1 cup of oil. Apply that to your 1 bag of brownie mix, and you get a total of 3 brownie mix bags.
