Answer:
B. 150 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height
So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.
We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2
b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2
b^2 = 625 - 225
b^2 = 400
sqrt (400) = 20
The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H
.5 * 15 * 20
7.5 * 20 = 150
150 Yds
In order to find the scale they are using first you must divide 12 by 3.75.
But since we get to estimate, the 3.75 will be made into a 4 because it's the whole number closest to 3.75.
12/4=3
Take your 3 inch scale and multiply it by 3 (we are using 3 instead of 2.8 because it's a whole number) to get the real life fence size.
3x3=9
The fence is about 9 feet.
Answer:
The weight in each bag is 4.39lb.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you simply need to divide 96.58 by 22. The reason you do this is so that way you can divide all of the weight into 22 bags.
96.58 ÷ 22 = 4.39
This means that the weight in each bag is 4.39lb.
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate. The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other.
