Answer:

10c = 20

5c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 10c coins; let y be the number of 5c coins. The total is $2.25, so the amount of 10c and 5c coins will add to that. Simita has 25 coins, so x and y, the number of coins, will have to add to 25. Hence, solve the simultaneous equation.

10x + 5y = 225 (1) - times by 0

x + y = 25 (2) - times by 5

10x + 5y = 225 (1)

5x + 5y = 125 (2)

Then, take equation 2 away from equation 1.

5x = 100

x = 20

Substitute x back into the original equation.

x + y = 25

20 + y = 25

y = 5

Answer:

The perimeter is 72 units and the area is 149 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle SBA$ has coordinates $S(15,-8),B(-2,21)$ and $A(0,0)$

Using the distance formula.........

Length of side $SB = \sqrt{(15+2)^2+(-8-21)^2}= \sqrt{17^2+(-29)^2}= \sqrt{1130}$

Length of side $BA= \sqrt{(-2)^2+(21)^2}= \sqrt{445}$

Length of side $AS =\sqrt{(15)^2+(-8)^2}=\sqrt{289}=17$

So, the perimeter of the triangle will be: $(SB+BA+AS)= \sqrt{1130}+ \sqrt{445}+17 =71.71... \approx 72$ units. (Rounded to the nearest unit)

The height of the triangle for the corresponding base $SB$ is 8.89 units.

Formula for the Area of triangle, $A= \frac{1}{2}(base\times height)$

So, the area of the $\triangle SBA$ will be: $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{1130}\times 8.89)= 149.42... \approx 149$ square units. (Rounded to the nearest unit)

laila [671]

Answer:

13 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of new tub = $312

Planned saving per week = $24

The number of weeks he'll have to save in other to be able to afford the tub can be obtained using the relation :

Number of weeks = cost of new tub / weekly saving

Number of weeks = $312 / $24

Number of weeks = 13 weeks

Mrs. Hall records the heights of 50 students in a spreadsheet. The mean height is 68 inches. After looking at the data again, sh

defon

67.33. You would first find the total height of people. So 50 would be multiplied by 68, giving you the answer of 3,400. After, you would subtract 82 and 86, giving you 3,232. To get the final answer you would divide the value by 48, since two of them are removed, giving you 67.33.
