First, we can raise each number to the second power by multipying it by itself. :)
1^2=1
4^2=16
9^2=81
16^2=256
These numbers are called "perfect squares" because their square roots are whole numbers, rather than decimals. For example, If you had a square with an area of 16, the side legnths of the square would be the whole (thus "perfect") number 4. For this reason, 16 (4^2) is considered a "perfect square" number. I hope that makes sense!! :)
A segment is only a "midsegment" if it connects midpoints. When labels above and below are 9 and 72, it is clearly not a midsegment. However, because it is parallel to the base, segments above and below on one side are proportional to those in similar positions on the other side.
72/9 = 56/(3x -20)
We can multiply by (3x -20)/8 to get
3x -20 = 7
3x = 27
x = 9
Answer:
You will want to add up the total for all four guests (The one after you added the tip) and then since you want to split it evenly, you can multiply it by 1/4.
I could be wrong but I think 28.
