Compatible numbers are numbers which are easy to do mental calculation. For example is when doing division like 25 and 5, 100 and 10, and 36 and 6.

First, we know that: 7 pounds=5 pounds + 2 pounds

                                or 7=5+2

In mathematics, the word “of” means to multiply. So:

                                grapes given away = 7  * (2/5)

Replacing 7 with 5 and 2:

                                                                = (5+2)*(2/5)

Using the distribution principle:

                                                =5*(2/5) + 2*(2/5)

                                                =2+ 4/5

                                =2 4/5

So grapes given away is 2 4/5 pounds.

<span>2/5 is close to 1/2, and it is easy to find 1/2 of 7 mentally. Half of 7 is 3.5, so Martin gave away about 3.5 pounds.</span>

23. A 340 million square mile forest is how many hectares?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

88059595400 hectares

storchak [24]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We have to prove that

sin 2\theta=2sin\theta cos\theta by using Euler's formula

Euler's formula :e^{i\theta}=cos\theta+isin\theta

e^{i(2\theta)}=(e^{i\theta})^2

By using Euler's identity, we get

cos2\theta+isin2\theta=(cos\theta+isin\theta)^2

cos2\theta+isin2\theta=(cos^2\theta-sin^2\theta+2isin\theta cos\theta)

(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab, i^2=-1

cos2\theta+isin2\theta=cos2\theta+i(2sin\theta cos\theta)

cos2\theta=cos^2\theta-sin^2\theta

Comparing imaginary part on both sides

Then, we get

sin2\theta=2sin\theta cos\theta

Hence, proved.

A mirror is made of two congruent parallelograms as shown in the diagram. The parallelograms have a combined area of 9 1/3 squar
Vika [28.1K]
Given:
2 parallelograms with an area of 9 1/3 yd²
height of each parallelogram is 1 1/3 yd

Area of parallelogram = base * height

We need to divide the combined area into two to get each parallelogram's base.

9 1/3 = ((9*3)+1)/3 = 28/3

28/3 ÷ 2 = 28/3 * 1/2 = 28/6 yd² or 4 4/6 yd² ⇒ 4 2/3 yd²

Area of each parallelogram is 4 2/3 yd²

4 2/3 yd² = base * 1 1/3 yd

14/3 yd² ÷ 4/3 yd = base

14/3 yd² x 3/4 yd = base
14*3 / 3*4 = base
42 / 12 = base
3 6/12 yd = base
or 3 1/2 yd = base

a) the base of each parallelogram is 3 1/2 yards
b) we can assume that the two parallelograms form a rectangle.
area of a rectangle is length times width.

length is 3 1/2 yds * 2 = 7 yds
width is 3 1/2 yds

Area of rectangle = 7 yds * 3 1/2 yds
Area = 7 yd * 7/2 yd
Area = 7*7 / 2 yd²
Area = 49 / 2 yd²
Area = 24 1/2 yd²
