The length of the hypotenuse of a right-
angled triangle is 7.8 cm,
correct to 1 decimal place.
One of the shorter side
lengths is 2.1 cm, correct
to 1 decimal place. Estimate
the length of the remaining
side, rounding your answer
to 1 decimal place.

7.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a right triangle, apply pythegorean theorem

Let the missing side be x

Therefore, the length of the missing side is 7.5 cm

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
