Answer:

length of qt = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that qrs is a right angle triangle,

where qr = 20

          sr = ?

          qs = 25

          qt = ?

<h3>1)</h3><h3>Find sr</h3>

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

sq² = sr² + rq²

25² - 20² = sr²

sr = √25² - 20²

sr = 15

2)

When altitude rt is drawn to hypotenuse qs, it divides the triangle qrs into

two right angle triangle, rtq and rts.

Δrtq

height = rt

base= tq = 25 - x

hypotenuse = qt = 20

Δrts

height = rt

base= ts = x

hypotenuse = sr = 15

These both triangle shares same altitude that is rt

So, by using pythagorus theorem

      Δ rtq                                               Δ rts

hypotenuse² - base² = height² = hypotenuse² - base²

20² - (25 - x)² = 15² - x²

400 - (625 + x² - 50x) = 225 - x²

400 - 625 - x² + 50x = 225 - x²

-225 - x² + 50x - 225 + x² = 0

-450 + 50 x = 0

50x = 450

x = 450/50

x = 9

base of Δ rtq = tq = 25 - x

                         tq = 25 - 9

                         tq = 16

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The length of qt is </u><u>15</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to Pythagorean Theorem

c² = a²  + b²

c² -  a² = b²  

25² -  20² = b²  

625 - 400 = b²  

225 = b²  

Taking square root on both sides

b = 15

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

4 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Yogurt in the container = 1 5/8 pounds

A serving = 3/8 pounds

how many servings of yogurt are in the container?

Servings in the yogurt container = total yogurt in the container / yogurt per servings

= 1 5/8 ÷ 3/8

= 13/8 × 8/3

= 13/3

= 4.33

To the nearest whole serving

= 4 servings

if 1000 spherical of radius 1 cm are melted to form a bigger bulb. Then find the radius of bigger bulb​
never [62]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

No. of small spherical bulb = 1,000

radius (r) of smaller bulbs = 1 cm

Required:

radius of the bigger bulb

SOLUTION:

The following equation represents the relationship of the volume of the smaller and bigger bulb,

\frac{V_2}{V_1} = 1,000

Where,

V_2 = volume of bigger bulb

V_1 = volume of smaller bulb

1,000 is the number of smaller bulbs melted to form the bigger bulb.

Volume of a sphere is given as, ⁴/3πr³

Therefore:

V_2 = ⁴/3*π*r³ = 4πr³/3

V_1 = ⁴/3*πr³ = ⁴/3*π*(1)³ = ⁴/3π*1 = 4π/3

Plug the above values into the equation below:

\frac{V_2}{V_1} = 1,000

\frac{\frac{4*pie*r^3}{3}}{\frac{4*pie}{3}} = 1,000

\frac{4*pie*r^3}{3}*{\frac{3}{4*pie} = 1,000

\frac{4*pie*r^3*3}{3*4*pie} = 1,000

\frac{12*pie*r^3}{12*pie} = 1,000

r^3 = 1,000 (12pie cancels 12 pie)

r = 10 (taking the cube root of each side)

Radius of the bigger bulb = 10 cm
