Answer: 6.71
=======================================
Work Shown:
The longest horizontal portion of length 6 breaks up into two equal pieces of length 3 each. Focus on the smaller right triangle on the right hand side. This right triangle has legs of 3 and 6. The hypotenuse is x.
Use the pythagorean theorem with a = 3, b = 6, c = x to find the value of x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + 6^2 = x^2
9 + 36 = x^2
45 = x^2
x^2 = 45
x = sqrt(45)
x = 6.7082039
x = 6.71
Answer:
the value of x is 13 because 2 times 13 equals 26 and 26 plus 6 equals 32.
Answer:
Division can be represented with ÷ as well.
c = cost per pound of chocolate chips
w = cost per pound of walnuts.
