Answer:

C) y = 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the corresponding sides in ABCD are equal to their corresponding sides by EFGH multiplied by something

all values are in feet

let x represent the unknown side in ABCD

ABCD lengths in order: x, 30 , 40 , 60

let a and b represent the unknown sides in EFGH

EFGH lengths in order: 6, 12, a, b

thus, 30 corresponds to 12 as they are both the second shortest sides

corresponding side in EFGH * something = corresponding side in ABCD

12 * something = 30

let something be r

12 * r = 30

divide both sides by 12 to isolate r

r = 30/12

thus, to get a side in ABCD, we multiply the corresponding side in EFGH by 30/12

we want to find the second longest side in EFGH. the corresponding side to that in ABCD is 40, as 40 is the second longest side in ABCD

let the second longest side in EFGH = y

y * 30/12 = 40

multiply both sides by 12/30 to isolate y

40 * 12 / 30 = y = 16

y = 16 feet

Twice the sum of a number and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. Find the number.
Alexandra [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

According to the given information:

2(x + 5) = 3(x - 7) \\  \\  \therefore \: 2x + 10 = 3x - 21 \\  \\   \therefore \: 10 + 21 = 3x -2x \\  \\ \therefore \: 31 = x \\  \\  \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \: x = 31}}

Hence the required number is 31.

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors and how many ways can a jury of 12 be selected
bija089 [108]

Solution:

we are given that

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors.

Wee have been asked to find the number of ways can a jury of 12 be selected.

As we know from the concept of combination that r person can be selected out of n in ncr ways. where

n_C_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now substitute the values we get

{50}_C_{12}=\frac{50!}{12!(50-12)!}\\
\\
{50}_C_{12}=\frac{50!}{12!38!}\\
\\
{50}_C_{12}=121399651100\\

Hence the required number of ways is 121399651100

   = (-5-1)/(4-2)

   = -6/2

    = -3
