Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between P and Q is 54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that triangle RPQ is similar to triangle RTS.

Property of similar triangle: The ratio of any pair of corresponding sides is the same.

So, by property : [tex]\frac{RP}{RT}=\frac{PQ}{ST}[/tex]

PR=42

PQ=x

ST=36

RT=28

So,[tex]\frac{42}{28}=\frac{x}{36}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{42 \times 36}{28}=x[/tex]

54=x

Hence the distance between P and Q is 54

determine the equation of the line that has a slope of 1/3 and goes through (7,6)

Answers

Answer: y=1/3x+11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we given the slope, we can write a slope-intercept form equation.

y=1/3x+b

Since we we don't have our y-intercept, we can plug in the coordinate we are given to find the y-intercept.

6=1/3(7)+b

6=7/3+b

11/3=b

Now that we have our y-intercept, we can complete our equation.

y=1/3x+11/3

5. A company is deciding which box to use for their merchandise. The first box measures 8 inches by 6.25 inches by 10.5 inches. The second box measures 9 inches by 5.5 inches by 11.75 inches. Which box required more material to make?

6. If each box (from #5) used material that cost $0.03 per square inch to make, how much does a company save by choosing to make fifty boxes of the smaller box in comparison to fifty boxes of the larger box?

Answers

Answer: 5. The second box required more material to make.

6. A company saves about $84.94 by choosing to make fifty boxes of the smaller box in comparison to fifty boxes of the larger box.

Step-by-step explanation:

5.  To solve this problem you need to find the volume of the boxes.

Volume of the first box.

v= 8 * 6.25 * 10.5

v= 525  

Second box volume

9 * 5.5 * 11.75 = 581.625

Which means the second box required more material to make because it has the greatest volume.

6. To solve this you have to multiply the volume of small and large boxes by 50 the multiply it by 0.03.

525 * 50 = 26250 * 0.03 = 785.5

581.625 *50 = 29081.25 * 0.03= 872.4375

872.4375 - 785.5  = 84.9375 which is about $84.94.

A train from Philadelphia to Boston left Philadelphia at 1 pm and arrived to Boston at 4 pm. What was its average speed if the distance it covered was 270 miles?

Answers

Answer:

90 miles per hour is the average speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Average Speed can be given as follows:

[tex]\text{Average Speed}= \dfrac{\text{Total Distance Traveled}} {\text{Total Time Taken}}[/tex]

Here time taken is from 1 PM to 4 PM i.e.

Total Time taken = (4-1) hours = 3 hours

Also, it is given that the Total distance covered = 270 miles

As per the formula above:

[tex]\text{Average Speed} = \dfrac{270}{3}\\\Rightarrow \text{Average Speed} = 90\ miles/hour[/tex]

So, answer is: 270 miles/ hour is the average speed of the train from Philadelphia to Boston.

Manuel has 5 pet turtles. He hopes to add a new turtle to his reptile habitat each month.

Answers

Answer:

Marvin spent $5 on a value meal after he earned $0.50 a day for doing chores at home

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between two quantities could be additive (In this case, one quantity is a result of adding a value to the other quantity) or multiplicative (In this case, one quantity is the result of multiplying the other quantity by a value).

Multiplicative Relationship is a relationship that shows two quantities expressed as multiples of each other.

It can be written as: y = nx

where y and x are multiples of each other

n is equivalent to the ratio of y to x

Let's consider the options we have:

a) On her diet, Mrs. Jackson lost 5 pounds every month.

y = x -a (a= constant)

y = x-5

There is no multiplicative relationship of a unit rate of 0.5 in the statement.

b) Mila eats 12 cup of yogurt every day.

There is no multiplicative relationship of a unit rate of 0.5 in the statement.

c) Marvin spent $5 on a value meal after he earned $0.50 a day for doing chores at home.

y = nx

n = 0.5

y is the result of multiplication of 0.5 by x

y = 0.5x

d) Manuel has 5 pet turtles. He hopes to add a new turtle to his reptile habitat each month.

y = x+a (a = constant)

y = x +1

There is no multiplicative relationship of a unit rate of 0.5 in the statement.

A bicycle ramp used for competitions is a triangular prism. The volume of the ramp is 313.2 cubic feet. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the ramp.

Answers

Answer:

l = 626.4/bh

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular prism have a base that is triangular in shape. The volume of a prism has the volume represented as follows.

volume = Al

where

A = Base area

l = width

Since the base is a triangle the base area will be the area of a triangle. Therefore,

volume of a triangular prism = 1/2bh l

where

b = base of triangle

h = height of triangle

volume = 313.2 ft³

313.2 = 1/2bh l

Make the width(l) subject of the formula

multiply both sides by 2

626.4 = bhl

divide both sides by bh

l = 626.4/bh

l = 626.4/bh

recall l = width

We are given the tree diagram

We are supposed to find the probability of waking up early at least one day

So, we are supposed to find the probability of waking up early for 1 and more than 1 day

By studying the tree diagram

So the probability of waking up early for 1 and more than 1 day =[tex]\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

The probability of waking up early at least 1 day = [tex]\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=1.2[/tex]

Josh has a itunes gift card worth $75. After he purchases the first song on itunes, the cards value is $74.11. After he purchases the second song, its value is $73.22. After he purchases the third song, its value is $72.33. Assuming the pattern continues, write an equation to define A(n), the amount of money on the gift card after n song purchases.
How many songs can Josh purchase with this card only?

Answers

Answer:

A(n)=75.89-0.89n85 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of the card =$75

The value of the card decreases after each music purchase forming a sequence:

75,74.11,73.22,72.33...

Now,

74.11-75=-0.8973.22-74.11=-0.8972.33-73.22=-0.89

We see that the sequence forms an arithmetic sequence:

Where the first term, a is 75

Common difference, d=-0.89

We want to write an equation to define A(n), the amount of money on the gift card after n song purchases.

For an arithmetic sequence,the nth term A(n)=a+(n-1)d

Therefore:

The amount of money on the gift card after n song purchases.

A(n)=75-0.89(n-1)

A(n)=75+0.89-0.89n

A(n)=75.89-0.89n

To find out how many songs can Josh purchase with this card only, we take our nth term A(n) of the sequence to be 0 and solve for n.

A(n)=75.89-0.89n

0=75.89-0.89n

0.89n=75.89

Divide both sides by 0.89

n=85.3

n=85

Therefore, Josh can purchase 85 songs with this card only

perpendicular help i need help

Answers

Answer:

m₁×m₂ = -1

m₁ = 3 and m₂ = -1/3

3×-1/3 = -1

-1 = -1

Hence proved, the given two lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can prove that the two lines are perpendicular if the following condition holds true.

m₁×m₂ = -1

Where m₁ is the slope of line 1 and m₂ is slope of line 2

So first you have to find out the slope of each line.

You are given 2 equations

y = 3x + 5         eq. 1

6y + 2x = 1       eq. 2

You have to write these equations in slope-intercept form to find out their slopes.

The slope-intercept form is given by

y = mx + b

Comparing the general form with eq. 1

y = 3x + 5

We notice that the slope is m₁ = 3

Now convert the eq. 2 into slope-intercept form

6y + 2x = 1       eq. 2

6y = -2x + 1

y = (-2x + 1)/6

y = -1/3x + 1/6     eq. 2

Comparing the general form with eq. 2

y = -1/3x + 1/6

We notice that the slope is m₂ = -1/3

Now we have slopes of both lines so let us test whether they are perpendicular or not

m₁×m₂ = -1

m₁ = 3 and m₂ = -1/3

3×-1/3 = -1

-1 = -1

Hence proved, the given two lines are perpendicular.

Point P is at (0, 4). Which points lie on the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the given line? Select three options. (–4, 2) (–1, 3) (–2, 2) (4, 2) (–5, –1)

Answers

Answer:

(–1, 3), (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, a line has points (-2, -4) and (4, 2). Its slope is:

m = [2 - (-4)]/[4 - (-2)] = 1

To be parallel, both lines have the same slope.

General equation of a line:

y = mx + b

Replacing with m = 1 and Point P (0, 4), we get:

4 = 1(0) + b

4 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y = x + 4

Replacing x = -4 into the equation:

y = -4 + 4 = 0

Replacing x = -1 into the equation:

y = -1 + 4 = 3     then (-1, 3) lies on the line

Replacing x = -2 into the equation:

y = -2 + 4 = 2     then (-2, 2) lies on the line

Replacing x = 4 into the equation:

y = 4 + 4 = 8

Replacing x = -5 into the equation:

y = -5 + 4 = -1     then (-5, 1) lies on the line

1) There's Need for the segment. Reminds me the centroid of a triangle which divides the triangle into two segments in a 2:3 ratio.

2.On a coordinate plane, a line has points (negative 2, negative 4) and (4, 2). Point P is at (0, 4). Which points lie on the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the given line? Select three options. (–4, 2) (–1, 3) (–2, 2) (4, 2) (–5, –1)

1) Let's find the slope of the line [tex]r[/tex] with points [tex]A(-2,-4) \:and\:B(4,2)[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{2-(-4)}{4-(-2)}=\frac{6}{6}=1[/tex]

2) Now the linear coefficient,

[tex]y=mx+b\\0=1(-2)+b\\b=-2[/tex]

Then the first line [tex]r[/tex] whose points are [tex]A(-2,-4) \:and\:B(4,2)[/tex] is [tex]y=x-2[/tex]

3) From Analytical Geometry, a Parallel line must have the same slope, so that these lines may never intercept each other just like the graph below. So the slope, the angular coefficient must value the same amount.

[tex]m_1=m_{2} \therefore m_{1}=m_{2}=1[/tex]

So, the line [tex]s[/tex] is :
