Answer:

18 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is 4 cups in a quart, we can turn 5 1/2 or 5.5 quarts into 22 cups:

5 1/2 or 5.5

( 5 x 4) + (0.5 x 4) = 22

Since we need to find how many cups were used, that is x. Because 22 cups is the total amount of cups and 4 is the amount remaining then the equation would look like this:

x + 4 = 22

Finally you solve to get:

x = 18 cups

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .
