A coach has 17 pompoms to give to her cheerleading team. If each cheerleader needs 2 pompoms to compete, what is the greatest number of cheerleaders that can compete? Will there be any pompoms remaining? If so, how many? Show your work on paper.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a coach has 17 pompoms to give to her cheerleading team and that each cheerleader needs 2 pompoms to compete.

The greatest number of cheerleaders that can compete will be calculated as:

= 17 / 2

= 8 1/2

Therefore, the greatest number of cheerleader is 8.

There be 1 pompom remaining.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

you are uyytr tyy
