Multiply 12 x 12 which is 144. And then you divide that by 6 and you get 24
The mess up occurs in one of the first things she says. She first claims that 7^2 +25^2 = 24^2
Wait a minute... slow your roll there.
25 is the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the triangle AND opposite the right angle (but we aren't supposed to know that yet).
The Pythagorean Theorem holds that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a & b are the legs of the triangle & c is the hypotenuse. So, she got the formatting correctly, but she switched 24 & 25.
Hope this helps!
Easy 60×2=120 but another way you can find out is 120÷60=2
Do you mean scientific notation
Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of almonds per pound = $10
Cost of roasted pistachios = $12
Total amount spent = $70
Weight of nuts = 6.3
Let,
Weight of almonds = x
Weight of roasted pistachios = y
According to given statement;
x+y=6.3 Eqn 1
10x+12y=70 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;
Dividing both sides by 2
Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 1
Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.
