Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]24, 32, 40\ in.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The shorter side is 8 inches shorter than the long side.

The hypotenuse is 8 inches longer than the long side.

Suppose the length of the long side is x

Short side is [tex]x-8[/tex]

hypotenuse is [tex]x+8[/tex]

using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]\Rightarrow \left( x-8\right)^2+\left( x\right)^2=\left( x+8\right)^2\\\Rightarrow x^2+64-16x+x^2=x^2+64+16x\\\Rightarrow x^2-32x=0\\\Rightarrow x\left( x-32\right)=0\\\Rightarrow x=0\ \text{or}\ 32[/tex]

Neglecting 0 as length cannot be zero

Shorter side is [tex]32-8=24\ in.[/tex]

long side [tex]x=32\ in.[/tex]

hypotenuse [tex]32+8=40\ in.[/tex]

Coordinate plane with triangle EFG with E at 0 comma 5, F at 1 comma 1, and G at negative 2 comma 1. Point H at 1 comma 1 is on segment GF, and points E and H are connected with a segment.

Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 3 centered at (0, 1) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the dilation?

segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.
The slope of segment EF is the same as the slope of segment E prime H prime.
segment E prime G prime will overlap segment EG.
segment EH ≅ segment E prime H prime.

Answers

Answer:

See below and the attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle EFG:

E(0, 5), F(1, 1), G(-2, 1)Center of dilation is H(0, 1)Scale factor is k = 3

The rule for this dilation is:

(x, y) → (k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b) (x, y) → (3x, 3(y - 1) + 1) = (3x, 3y - 2)

the probability that a twelve-year-old has a brother or sister is 25%. supposed you survey 300 twelve-year-olds. about how many do you think will have a brother or sister?

set up a solve a proportion for this as well.

Answers

Answer:

n(B U S) = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

P(E) =  

Let 'B' be the event of having twelve year old brother

Let 'S' be the event of having twelve year old sister

given data  P(BUS) = 0.25

given total survey  n(survey) = 300

we have to find the value is n(BUS) =?

we will use probability definition we get, P( BUS) =

substitute given values, we will get solution

after cross multiplication , we get

n(BUS) = 0.25 X 300

n(BUS) = 75

Answer:

75 twelve-year-olds will have a brother or sister

25% of 300 = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 300.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x

Step 3: From step 1 above, 300=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=25%

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

300=100% (1).

x=25% (2).

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

300/x    100%/25%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/300     25/100

x=75

Therefore, $25% of 300 is 75

A rescue boat just picked up some sailors in a lifeboat. Now the rescue boat is heading north at 14 miles per hour. The lifeboat, which they abandoned, is drifting south at a speed of 3 miles per hour. How long will it be before the rescued sailors are 57 miles from their lifeboat?

Answers

The time it will take for the rescued sailors to be 57 miles from their life boat is given as follows:

3.35 hours.

What is relative velocity?

Relative velocity is obtained considering the direction in which the objects are traveling, as follows:

Opposite direction: the relative velocity is given by the sum of the velocities of each object.Same direction: the relative velocity is given by the subtraction of the velocities of each object.

For this problem, the sailors and the lifeboat are traveling in opposite directions, hence the relative velocity, considering each of their velocities is given as follows:

v = 14 + 3 = 17 miles.

(meaning that they get 17 miles farther each hour).

Velocity is distance divided by time, hence the time it will take for them to be 57 miles apart is given as follows:

17 = 57/t

17t = 57

t = 57/17

t = 3.35 hours.

C. an = 3/5 (1/3)n-1
D. an = 3/5 (1/3)n

Answers

The equation which describes the nth term for the sequence 3/5,1/5,1/15,1/45,\cdots2 is  an = 3/5 (1/3)n-1 , which is option C.

We use the formula an=a1+(n−1)d an = a1 + (n−1)d , to calculate the nth term of a given sequence. The 'n' here  represents a number.

Using the nth term we can any number on the sequence which allows us to locate any term in a series.

By substituting different values for the term number, we can create a series utilizing the nth term (n).

To find the tenth term we use the sequence formula and substitute a random number in place of n.

Example if we need to find the first 50 term then we will substitute n as 50.

All must add up to 360°

100+44=144°

360-144

= 216°

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

Every possible triangle's 3 angles add up to 180.

So when you are given 2 angles of a triangle (100° and 44°), you can find the 3rd one by subtracting the given angles from 180°.

100°+44°=144°

180°-144°=36°

That's the missing angle inside the triangle.

We need that to find angle 1 because 2 angles that make up a straight line add up to 180°. So 180-36°=144°.

Caleb bought groceries for $68.48, including sales tax. If sales tax was 7%, how much was the groceries before tax?
pls help me

Answers

Answer:

$64.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount for the groceries before tax be Y

If the cost inclusive of tax at 7% is $68.48, then

Y + 7% * Y = $68.48

100%Y + 7%Y = $68.48

107%Y = $68.48

Recall that 107% = 1.07

1.07Y = $68.48,

Divide both sides by 1.07

Y = $68.48/1.07

Y = $64.00

Hence the cost of the groceries before tax is $64

y = 1.5x is the relation.

When x = 6

y = 1.5 * 6

= 9..

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

y = kx

k = 1.5 and x = 6

The value of y when x = 6 is 9.

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example:

2x + 3 = 9 is an equation.

3x = 5 is an equation.

We have,

If y varies directly as x.

This means,

y ∝ x

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Now,

y = 15 when x = 10

This means,

15 = 10k

k = 15/10

k = 1.5

Now,

y = kx

k = 1.5

x = 6

y = 1.5 x 6

y = 9

Thus,

y = kx

k = 1.5 and x = 6

The value of y when x = 6 is 9.

Using multiplication as a mathematical operator, Kareem will 864 more cards and Nicole will get 24 more cards

What is Multiplication

Multiplication is a mathematical operation that involves multiplying two or more numbers together. It is one of the four basic operations in mathematics, along with addition, subtraction, and division.

In this problem, we may require the use of some mathematical operators to find the solution to the problem.

1.

He currently has 216 cards, but he needs 15 sets of cards.

1 set of card = 72 cards

Let's calculate the number of sets he currently has.

1 set of card = 72 cards

x set = 216 cards

cross multiply both sides and solve for x.

x * 72 = 216 * 1

x = 216 / 72

x = 3 sets

He currently has 3 sets of cards.

Since he wants 15 sets of cards, we will need 12 more set of cards.

The number of cards can be calculated by multiplying 12 by 72

Number of cards = 12 * 72 = 864

He needs 864 more cards.

2.

1 set of card = $27

1 set = 72 cards

But she's bringing $9 to join, we can calculate the ratio of cards she will get.

1 / 27 = x / 9

x = 9 / 27

x = 1/3

Answers

A customer purchased 1/4 pound of ham, 1 1/2 pounds of turkey, 1 pound of roast beef, and 3/4 pound of bologna. Therefore, the customer pay for the purchase before sales tax is $22.

Sales tax:

A sales tax is a tax paid to a governing body on the sale of certain goods and services. Laws generally allow sellers to collect taxes from consumers at the time of purchase. When a tax on goods or services is paid by consumers directly to the governing body, it is usually called a use tax. Laws often provide excise and use tax exemptions for certain goods or services, such as: food, education, medicine, etc. Value Added Tax (VAT) charged on goods and services is related to sales tax.

For Example:

I am shopping at The Clothing Boutique and would like to estimate the total after tax before checking out. After counting the total price of the items in the cart, the total is $100. Sales tax in this county is 9.5%, so you charge 9.5% (100 x 0.095) of $100.

According to the question:

The purchase before sales tax:

                   = 1/4 × $5.99 + 1 1/2 × $4.99 + 1 × $6.99 + 3/4 ×2.99

                   = $1.5 + $7.5 + $6.99 + $5.24

                   = $21.23 ≈ $22
