Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the number of males in the classroom is three more than twice the number of females.
the total number of students is 57
Let x be the no of males then no of females =
Also we have 3 more than twice no of females as
This equals x
No of males = 39, no of females = 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, expand the original equation:
(x + 1)(2x + 3)
Now simplify:
And that's your answer!
Answer:
Distance covered by the bird before meeting the water is: 51.264 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that if the bird catches the fish in 2 seconds, then the fish was able to dive down a total of 6 feet before being caught:
So the bird needs to fly in the direction of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle (see attached image) that has one leg of length (24 ft + 6 ft) = 30 ft, and another one 22.5 ft (half the width of the river.
Such hypotenuse is (using Pythagoras theorem):
Now, in order to find the distance D the bird covers from the top of the tree to the water (marked in red in our image), we use similar triangles. The bigger triangle is that of legs 60 ft and 22.5 ft and hypotenuse 64.08 ft.
The smallest triangle we use in the proportion is the one shaded yellow in the image, which has one leg equal to 24 ft, and unknown hypotenuse:
So we make the proportion between known legs, and hypotenuses:
