The age of the giraffe when he is 15 feet tall be 1 year 1 month and  16 days.

<h3>What is fraction?</h3>

A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Giraffe height = 6 feet

Height grew in 7 months= 1.75 feet

Giraffe's height in 7 month = 7.75 feet

Giraffe's height, 1 feet= \frac{7}{7.75} month

                                   = 0.9032 months

Giraffe's height, 15 feet=  0.9032 x 15 month

                                    = 13.548 month

                                    = 13 months 16 days approx.

                                    = 1 year 1 month 16 days

Hence, the age of giraffe will be 1 year, 1 month and 16 days

A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertices at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}.

Since

  • AB=4;
  • A'B'=10;
  • AC=6;
  • A'C'=15,

then the scale factor of the dilation is

k=\dfrac{10}{4}=\dfrac{15}{6}=2.5.

Two cylindrical containers, C and D, with different capacities are shown below. What is the total volume of liquid held in these
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Option D. (x + 4)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C = (6x + 2) L

D = (3x² + 6x + 9) L

Also, we were told that half of container C is full and one third of container D is full. Thus the volume of liquid in each container can be obtained as follow:

Volume in C = ½C

Volume in C = ½(6x + 2)

Volume in C = (3x + 1) L

Volume in D = ⅓D

Volume in D = ⅓(3x² + 6x + 9)

Volume in D = (x² + 2x + 3) L

Finally, we shall determine the total volume of liquid in the two containers. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume in C = (3x + 1) L

Volume in D = (x² + 2x + 3) L

Total volume =?

Total volume = Volume in C + Volume in D

Total volume = (3x + 1) + (x² + 2x + 3)

= 3x + 1 + x² + 2x + 3

= x² + 5x + 4

Factorise

x² + 5x + 4

x² + x + 4x + 4

x(x + 1) + 4(x + 1)

(x + 4)(x + 1)

Thus, the total volume of liquid in the two containers is (x + 4)(x + 1) L.

What is the value of x?
loris [4]

Answer: x = 9, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the sides are equal, it is an equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangles are also equiangular. The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so each angle must equal 60 degrees.

set the equation equal to 60 to solve for x

7x - 3 = 60

add three to both sides

7x = 63

divide both sides by 7

x = 9

find y by setting the equation equal to 60

11y + 5 = 60

subtract 5 from each side

11y = 55

divide both sides by 11

y = 5

A semicircle is attached to the side of a rectangle as shown. What is the best approximation for the area of this figure? Use 3.
Aliun [14]
Rectangle = 18 × 6 = 108
Circle: 3.14 × (3)^2 = 3.14 x 9 = 28.26
semicircle: 28.26 / 2 = 14,13
108 + 14.13 = 122.13
answer
122.13 cm^2
