<h3>
Answer: 10</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The two smaller triangles are proportional, which lets us set up this equation
5/n = n/15
Cross multiplying leads to
5*15 = n*n
n^2 = 75
----------
Apply the pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle on top, or on the right.
a^2+b^2 = c^2
5^2+n^2 = m^2
25+75 = m^2
100 = m^2
m^2 = 100
m = sqrt(100)
m = 10
Answer:
5,500 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
500% of something is 5 times the original amount. 1,100 rabbits times 5 equals 5,500.
Answer:
The height of the tank is 0.5 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine what is the height, in yards, of a cylindrical water tank that holds 1,884 cubic yards of water and has a diameter of 120 feet, knowing that the volume of a cylinder is equal to pi multiplied by the radius squared, multiplied by the height, the following calculation must be done:
1 foot = 0.3333 yards
R = Diameter / 2
R = 120/2 = 60
3.14 x 60 ^ 2 x H = 1,884
3.14 x 3,600 x H = 1,884
3.14 x 1,200 x H = 1,884
3.768 x H = 1.884
H = 1,884 / 3,768
H = 0.5
Therefore, the height of the tank is 0.5 yards.
