Answer:

No, it's not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle) is equal to the sum of the area of the squares from the two other sides.

2. The longest side in this "triangle" has 18 centimeters, and the other 2 sides are 5 and 12 centimeters.

3. Let's apply the Pythagorean Theorem to see if 5^2 + 12^2 = 18^2

$5^2 + 12^2 = 18^2$
$25 + 144 = 324$
$169 \neq 324$

4. Okay, so the sum of the area of the squares from the two other sides is not equal to the hypotenuse squared, therefore, it's not a right triangle.

(Plus, it's not even a triangle because 7 < x < 17, and the third "side", 18, is not between 7 and 17.)

Answer:

2. 3.913 kg (3 dp)

3. light cream

4. 240 CoffeeStops

5. 7 CoffeeStops per square mile

6. 2,861 cups of coffee each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Skim milk density at 20 °C = 1.033 kg/l
Light cream density at 20 °C = 1.012 kg/l
1 liter = 0.264 gallons

Question 2

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{1 gallon} & = \sf \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:liters\\\\\implies \textsf{Mass (1 gallon of skim milk)} & = \sf Density \times Volume\\& = \sf 1.033\:kg/l \times \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:l\\& = \sf 3.913\:kg\:(3\:dp)\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the mass of 1 gallon of skim milk is 3.913 kg (3 dp)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 3

Given:

Volume of liquid = 9 liters
Mass of liquid = 9.108 kg

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Density & = \sf \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{9.108\:kg}{9\:l}\\\\& = \sf 1.012\:kg/l \end{alilgned}$

Therefore, the container holds light cream.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 4

Given:

15 CoffeeStops per 100,000 people
Population of Manhattan ≈ 1,602,000 people

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Number of Coffeestops} & = \sf \dfrac{population}{density}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000/15}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000} \times 15\\\\& = \sf 240.3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, there are 240 CoffeeStops.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 5

Given

Manhattan ≈ 34 square miles

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{CoffeeStops density} & = \sf \dfrac{number\:of\:stores}{land\:area}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{240}{34}\\\\& \approx \sf 7 \: \textsf{CoffeeStops per square mile}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the density of CoffeeStops is 7 per square mile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 6

Given:

Each person buys 3 cups of coffee per week

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served each week} & = \textsf{number of people} \times \textsf{number of cups per week}\\& = \sf 1,602,000 \times 3\\& = \sf 4,806,000\: \textsf{cups per week}\\\\\implies \textsf{Cups per day} & = \sf \dfrac{\textsf{cups per week}}{\textsf{days in a week}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{4,806,000}{7}\\\\& = \sf 686,571\:\textsf{(nearest whole number)}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served per day per shop} & = \dfrac{\textsf{cups per day}}{\textsf{number of shops}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{686,571}{240}\\\\& = \sf 2,861\: \textsf{(nearest whole number)} \end{aligned}$
