By the 7th week, 2,187 people will have found out the secret.
Answer:
For longest x = 6.4
For shortest x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a right angle triangle with lengths 4 units and 5 units and x units .
x can be gotten using Pythagoras theorem .
If x Is the longest side , then
x^2 = 5^2 + 4^2
= 5x5 + 4x4
= 25 + 16
x^2 = 41
x = squared root of 41
x = 6.4
If x is the shortest side ,
x^2 = 5^2 - 4^2
= 5x5 - 4x4
= 25 - 16
x^2 = 9
x = squared root of 9
x = 3
8 - (6-4) : 2 = 7
that's it
28457 x 3 = 85371 white blankets
85371 + 28457 = 113,828 total blankets
113828/55 = 2069.6 total boxes
so 2069 full boxes
and 55*.6 = 33 left over blankets
