Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The three pieces of fencing he has to use are 8 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet long. For him to be able to make a right triangle with his fence, the length of the sides must form a Pythagoras triple. To determine if the lengths make a Pythagoras triple, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent².
Therefore
20² = 8² + 15²
400 = 64 + 225 = 289
Since they are not equal, it means that they do not form Pythagoras theorem, thus,.
He will not be able to make a right triangle with his fence.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of batches of soap that Lilth makes.
Let y represent the number of batches of lotion that Lilth makes.
It takes her 20 minutes(20/60 = 1/3 hours) to make a batch of soap and 35 minutes(35/60 = 7/12 hours) to make a batch of lotion. Lilth has 20 hours available to make soap and lotion. This means that
x/3 + 7y/12 = 20
4x + 7y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
The cost of producing each batch are $5 for the soap and $15 for the lotion. The materials to make the soap and lotion must cost at most $325. This means that
5x + 15y ≤ 325 - - - - - - - - -2
4x = 240 - 7y
x = (240 - 7y)/4
Substituting
5(240 - 7y)/4 + 15y ≤ 325
(1200 - 35y)/4 + 15y ≤ 325
1200 - 35y + 60y ≤ 1300
25y ≤ 1300 - 1200
25y ≤ 100
y ≤ 100/25
y ≤ 4
4x + 7 × 4 = 240
4x + 28 = 240
4x = 212
x = 212/4 = 53
Therefore, the solution (53, 4) means that she would make at most 53 batches of soap and at most 4 batches of lotion
Answer:
475
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost of the bench, subtract 99 from 1049, then divide by 2. Add 99 to the answer(475) to get the cost of the garden table(574).
Answer:
If 9 of the sparrows is 45% of the birds in the backyard, 9/x = 45/100.
Cross multiply to get 9 * 100 = 45x; simplified is 900 = 45x or 20.
This means that there are 20 birds in the backyard. You can check this by dividing 9/20 which equals 45%
none??' you mean nine?
