Eve has caught 14 fish whose total weight on the scale is 20 pounds 5 ounces. She tells her friend that each fish likely weighs more than 2

w>2 where w=weight of one fish
How reasonable is Eve's estimate?

a

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

ome people is not even worth it to even try it in the air.
