Answer:

A had 22 mangoes, B had 26 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following system:

A + 10 = 2(B - 10) -- Equation 1

3(A - 10) = B + 10 -- Equation 2

A + 10 = 2B - 20 → A = 2B - 30 -- Equation 3 (Simplify Equation 1)

3(2B - 30 - 10) = B + 10 -- Equation 4 (Substitute 3 into 2)

3(2B - 40) = B + 10

6B - 120 = B + 10

5B = 130

B = 26 -- (Solve for B in Equation 4)

A = 2 * 26 - 30 = 22 -- (Substitute B = 26 into Equation 3)

suter [353]

Answer:

5\sqrt{10}\ units

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The legs of a 45°-45°-90° triangle are congruent

Let

x ---->  the length of one leg of the triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2=a^2+b^2

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs

we have

c=10\sqrt{5}\ units

a=b=x\ units

substitute

(10\sqrt{5})^2=x^2+x^2

500=2x^2\\x^2=250\\x=\sqrt{250}\ units

Simplify

x=5\sqrt{10}\ units

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

K is the midpoint of segment HL . H has coordinates (1, -7 ) , and K has coordinates(-9, 3 ). Find the coordinates of other end
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Coordinates of other end point L = ( -19, 13 )

Explanation:

 The mid point of the coordinates (a,b) and (c,d) is given by (\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2})

 Here we have (a,b) = (1,-7) and (\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2}) = (-9,3) , we need to find (c,d).

 \frac{a+c}{2} =-9\\ \\ 1+c=-18\\ \\ c=-19\\\\ \frac{b+d}{2} =3\\ \\ -7+d=6\\ \\ d=13

So coordinates of other end point L = ( -19, 13 )
