Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an isosceles triangle. We need to remember the important rule that the base angles are equal. In this question we need to find the value of 'x' using a perpendicular height of 3 and a base length of 4. In this question we can half the triangle in half to help us find the value of x. Also we need to use Pythagoras theorem to help us find 'x'. Pythagoras states that a² + b² = c² so we want to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. If we half the triangle we get 2 triangle both with a base length of 2 and a perpendicular height of 3 so,
⇒ State Pythagoras theorem
→ a² + b² = c²
⇒ Substitute in the values
→ 3² + 2² = c²
⇒ Simplify
→ 9 + 4 = c²
⇒ Simplify further
→ 13 = c²
⇒ Square root both sides to find the value of 'c'
→ = c
The value of x is the square root of 13
Marcario should use 4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.
Explanation
given
cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9
cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25
cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5
total pounds of the mixture to be made=12
let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x
pounds of almond nuts=y
total pounds of nuts=x+y=12
solving (1) and (2)
x=4
y=8
