A geologist wants to determine the distance across the widest part of a nearby lake. The geologist marked off specific points around the lake so that the line containing segment DE would be parallel to the line containing BC. The segment BC is selected specifically because it is the widest part of the lake. The segment DE is selected specifically because it is a short enough distance to easily measure. Use this diagram to answer the following questions.

1. Is ADE similar to ABC'? How do you know? *

Yes. All three sides are proportional.
Yes. Two or more angles are equivalent.
No. Side lengths are not proportional.
There is insufficient information to determine similarity.

2. If ADE is similar to ABC, and |AD| = 1,200 ft and |AB| = 3,600 ft, what is the length of segment BC?

2,700 ft
1,600 ft
2,100 ft
2,400 ft

3. If ABC is similar to ADE what is the length of segment AC? *
5 points
2,000 ft
3,000 ft
2,400 ft
2,800 ft

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Yes. Two or more angles are equivalent

2. 2700 ft

3. 3000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

∠EAD = ∠CAB (same angle)

∠AED = ∠ACB (because AC is a straight line and ED and CB are parallel)

2.

1200:3600

1:3

This means that for any given side for triangle AED, the corresponding side for triangle ACB is three times bigger. ED corresponds to CB, so:

900 x 3 = 2700

3.

We know that for any given side for triangle AED, the corresponding side for triangle ACB is three times bigger. AE corresponds to AC, so:

1000 x 3 = 3000

A car dealer offers a 15% discount off the list price x for any car on the lot. At the same time, the manufacturer offers a $1500 rebate for each purchase of a car.


a. Write a function f(x) to represent the price after the discount is applied.


b. Write a function g(x) to represent the price after the rebate is applied.


Suppose the list price of a car is $19,000. Use a composite function to find the price

of the car:


C. if the discount is applied before the rebate;


D. if the rebate is applied before the discount

Answers

Answer:

A) f(x) = 0.85x

B) g(x) = x - 1500

C) g(f(x)) = $14650

D) f(g(x)) = $14875

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The list price is x and a 15% discount is applied.

Thus;

f(x) = x - 15%x

f(x) = 0.85x

B) We are told that the manufacturer offers a $1500 rebate for each purchase of a car.

Thus, the function g(x) to represent the price after the rebate is applied is;

g(x) = x - 1500

C)if the discount is applied before the rebate, the function is;

g(f(x))

Now,

f(x) = 0.85(19000)

f(x) = 16150

g(x) = x - 1500

Thus;

g(x) = 16150 - 1500

g(x) = $14650

D) If discount after rebate, then we have; f(g(x))

g(x) = 19000 - 1500

g(x) = 17500

f(g(x)) = 0.85(17500)

f(g(x)) = $14875

HELP!!!!! I dont understand this!​

Answers

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

I might be wrong, but this is my interpretation of the problem.

To solve this problem, find the endpoints of the line in the interval. Then draw a line between those two points. Finally, find the slope of the line that passes between the two points.

The line is f(x) = -2x^(2) + 2x + 1

The interval (in standard notation) is (3 [tex]\leq[/tex] x [tex]\leq[/tex] 5)

So when x = 3,

-2x^(2) + 2x + 1

-2(3)^(2) + 2*3 + 1

-2 * 9 + 6 + 1

-18 + 7

- 11

One endpoint is: (3, -11).

When x = 5

-2x^(2) + 2x + 1

-2(5)^2 + 2*5 + 1

-2 * 25 + 10 + 1

-50 + 11

-39

The other endpoint is; (5, -39).

Find the slope of a line passing through these two points.

The formula to find the slope of a line is:

[tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]

[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = 3

[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = -11

[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = 5

[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = -39

((-39) - ( -11))/((5) - (3))

Simplify

-28/2

The length of one side of a square pond is 15 feet. The pond is surrounded by a 3 foot wide walkway. What is the total area of the pond and the walkway, in square feet

Answers

Answer:

Area = 324 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 15ft

Walkway = 3ft

Required

Determine the area of the pond + the walkway

To calculate the required area, we need to get the total length of a side .

This is calculated by adding the length of a side of the pond and the side of the walkway

Total Length = Pond Length + Walkway

Total Length = 15ft + 3ft

Total Length = 18ft

Now, the required area can be calculated as thus:

Area = Total Length * Total Length

Area = 18ft * 18ft

Area = 324 ft²

answer choices are
A:45°
B:180°
C:61°
D:119°

Answers

Answer:

Option c: 61° is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

By the diagram attached with the question, we can conclude that a transversal is interesting two parallel lines which results in formation of 8 angles.

Angle 3 and angle 5 are interior angles on same side of transversal.

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the interior angles on same side of transversal are supplementary angles i.e. their sum is 180°

So using this

m∠3+m∠5 = 180°

m∠3 + 119° = 180°

m∠3 = 180°-119°

m∠3 = 61°

Hence,

Option c: 61° is the correct answer

If h(x)= -3x-10, find h(-3)
Please give an explanation too. Thank you.

Answers

Answer:

h(-3)=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace all x in h(x)= -3x-10 by -3:

h(-3)=-3(-3)-10

Now multiply -3 and -3:

h(-3)=9-10

Simplify 9 and -10 (aka add 9 and -10 together):

h(-3)=-1

Answer: h(-3)=-1

Hope this helps!

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If h(x)= -3x-10 and we want to solve for h(-3) then we have to plug in -3 for all x variables. h(-3)= -3(-3)-10, then solve using PEMDAS.

First multiple h(-3)= 9-10, multiple -3*-3 to get 9.

Then subtract, h(-3)=-1

The number 0.003 is 1/10 of which decimal?

Answers

I'd say it's 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

0.03 divided by 10 is 0.003 so it's 1/10

0.003 is 1/10th of 0.03.

What is a decimal ?

A decimal is represented by a point or a dot it separates the decimal part and the fractional part for example 24.75 here the whole part is is 24 and the fractional part is 75.

if we divide 0.03 by 10  = [tex]\frac{0.03}{10}[/tex] = 0.003.                     (dividing a number by 10

                                                                                    moves the decimal point

                                                                                    to the left by 1 because

An equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon have the same area. The ratio of the side length of the regular hexagon to the side length of the equilateral triangle can be written as m/√n. What is m+n?
Help me plz!

Answers

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b be the sides of the equilateral triangle and the regular hexagon respectively as shown in figures (1) and (2).

The area of the equilateral having side a is

[tex]A_T= \frac {\sqrt3}{2}a^2\cdots(i)[/tex]

Now, join all the 6 corner points of the regular hexagon to the center of the hexagon as shown in figure (3).

As there are 6 equal sides, so angle subtended by each side at the center is 360/6=60 degrees.

Considering the triangle POR:

[tex]\angle POR= 60[/tex] degree [angle at center]

As sides PO=RO, so [tex]\angle OPR = \angle ORP = 60[/tex] degree.

Hence, triangle POR is an equilateral triangle.

Similarly, all the remaining 5 triangles are equilateral triangles.

So, the area of hexagon = 6 x Area of triangle POR

As the length of sides of the triangle POR is b,

so the area of the triangle POR [tex]= \frac {\sqrt3}{2}b^2[/tex].

Hence, the area of the regular hexagon,

[tex]A_H = 6 \times \frac {\sqrt3}{2}b^2\cdots(ii)[/tex]

As the equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon have the same area, so from the equations (i)and (ii), we have

[tex]A_T=A_H\\\\\frac {\sqrt3}{2}a^2=6 \times \frac {\sqrt3}{2}b^2\\\\\Rightarrow a^2=6b^2\\\\\Rightarrow \frac {b^2}{a^2}=\frac 1 6\\\\\Rightarrow \frac {b}{a}=\frac {1}{\sqrt 6}\cdots(iii)[/tex]

Given that the ratio of the side length of the regular hexagon to the side length of the equilateral triangle, b/a= m/√n.

On comparing with the equation (iii), we have

m=1 and n=6

Hence, m+n=1+6=7.

Answer:

D, m<4 is 137°

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be D, because m<4 would be supplementary with the angle that's 43 degrees. Supplementary angles add up to 180, so this could be found through the following equation.

x + 43 = 180

x would represent <4

You would now subtract 43 from both sides.

x = 137

Answer:

D. The m<4 is 137°

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the angles are not correct because if you add 142+56 (adjacent angles) or the unknown angles (angle 1 + angle 2), it doesn't equal 180. You can picture it as angle 3 and its adjacent angle (56°) equal to 180 sience there sharing one straight line thus being 180°
