The number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Let the original number of books in the library be x

If the State Library received a three-year grant to add 69,678 books to their collection, the total number of books will be x + 69,678

If during a used book sale, the library sold 430 books, the remaining books will be (x+69,678) - 430 = x + 69,248

If the collection now is five times more than the original number of books, then;

x + 69,248 = 5x

5x - x = 69,248

4x = 69,248

x = 69,248 /4

x = 17,312

Hence the number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Find the area of an equilateral triangle that has perimeter of 24 m.

mafiozo [28]

we know the perimeter is 24, and is an equilateral triangle, so it has three equal sides, so each side is 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

$\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~ \begin{cases} s=side's\\ \qquad length\\ \cline{1-1} s = 8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\\\\\\ A=16\sqrt{3}\implies A\approx 24.71$
