Answer:
<em>Herlene has 8 dimes and 17 quarters</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = number of dimes Herlene has
y = number of quarters Herlene has
Since each dime has a value of $0.10 and each quarter has a value of $0.25, the total money Herlene has is 0.10x+0.25y.
We know this amount is $5.05, thus:
0.10x + 0.25y = 5.05 [1]
It's also given the number of quarters is one more than twice the number of dimes, i.e.:
y = 2x + 1 [2]
Substituting in [1]:
0.10x + 0.25(2x + 1) = 5.05
Operating:
0.10x + 0.5x + 0.25 = 5.05
0.6x = 5.05 - 0.25
0.6x = 4.8
x = 8
From [2]:
y = 2*8 + 1 = 17
y = 17
Herlene has 8 dimes and 17 quarters
Note necessary facts about isosceles triangle ABC:
- The median CD drawn to the base AB is also an altitude to tha base in isosceles triangle (CD⊥AB). This gives you that triangles ACD and BCD are congruent right triangles with hypotenuses AC and BC, respectively.
- The legs AB and BC of isosceles triangle ABC are congruent, AC=BC.
- Angles at the base AB are congruent, m∠A=m∠B=30°.
1. Consider right triangle ACD. The adjacent angle to the leg AD is 30°, so the hypotenuse AC is twice the opposite leg CD to the angle A.
AC=2CD.
2. Consider right triangle BCD. The adjacent angle to the leg BD is 30°, so the hypotenuse BC is twice the opposite leg CD to the angle B.
BC=2CD.
3. Find the perimeters of triangles ACD, BCD and ABC:



4. If sum of the perimeters of △ACD and △BCD is 20 cm more than the perimeter of △ABC, then

5. Since AC=BC=2CD, then the legs AC and BC of isosceles triangles have length 20 cm.
Answer: 20 cm.

the example on your picture uses A(n) and n = years, but is pretty much the same, in this case is t = years.
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is A. 22 inches ³</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that the formula of the volume of a triangular pyramid:
Volume = 1/3 * Area of the base * height
Replacing with the values we have:
Volume = 1/3 * 11 inches² * 6 inches
Volume = 66/3
Volume = 22 inches ³
<u>The correct answer is A. 22 inches ³</u>
