Answer:
The answer to your question is car 1 = 30 gal and car 1 = 20 gal
Step-by-step explanation:
car 1 = a
car 2 = b
Efficiency of car 1 = 35 mi/gal
Efficiency for car 2 = 20 mi/gal
Total distance = 1450
Total gas consumption = 50 gal
Equations
35a + 20b = 1450 ------- (I)
a + b = 50 ------- (II)
Solve by elimination
Multiply equation II by -35
35a + 20b = 1450
-35a - 35b = -1750
Simplify
0 - 15b = -300
Solve for b
b = -300/-15
Result
b = 20
Substitute b in equation II to find a
a + 20 = 50
Solve for a
a = 50 -20
Result
a = 30
<u>EXPLANATION</u><u>:</u>
In ∆ ABC , ∠ABC = 40°
∠ACD is an exterior angle formed by extending BC to D
We know that
The exterior angle of a triangle formed by extending one side is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.
∠ACD = ∠CAB + ∠ABC
⇛50° = x° + 40°
⇛x° = 50°-40°
<h3>⇛x° = 10°</h3>
and
In ∆ ACD , AC = CD
⇛ ∠CDA = ∠CAD
Since the angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
Let ∠CDA = ∠CAD = A°
We know that
The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°
In ∆ ACD,
∠CDA +∠CAD + ∠ACD = 180°
A°+A°+50° = 180°
⇛2A°+50° = 180°
⇛2A° = 180°-50°
⇛2A° = 130°
⇛A° = 130°/2
⇛A° = 65°
now,
∠CDA = ∠CAD = 65°
∠BAC + ∠CAD+y = 180°
Since angles in the same line
10°+65°+y = 180°
⇛75°+y =180°
⇛y = 180°-75°
<h3>⇛y = 105°</h3>
<u>Answer</u><u>:</u> Hence, the value of “x” & “y” will be 10° and 105° respectively.
About 9 gallons (average)
1/3^3=0.037 recurring. 1^3= 1. 1/0.37=27.027. That rounds to 27 so you can fit 27 cubes into the box.
