Answer:

Answer C. $12.00

Step One: Round

First you will want to round $3.98 to the nearst hundredth. A little saying my teacher taught me to help you to remember to round:

<em>Find your place, and move next door.</em>

<em>Numbers to the left, stay the same.</em>

<em>Numbers to the right, zeros your name!</em>

<em />

So, we choose the 8 in 3.98. We then round. Since the nine is over five, we add one more to it. Causing it to be 4.00

Step Two: Multiply

Now multiply buy 3 since Jill is getting three pints of strawberries

3 times 4 is twelve

So, your answer is 12.00

Hope this helps!!

What is the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth? 13. 0 units 28. 8 units 31. 2 units 33. 8 units.

Len [333]

The length of the line segment BC is 31.2 units.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Triangle ABC is shown.

Angle ABC is a right angle.

An altitude is drawn from point B to point D on side AC to form a right angle.

The length of AD is 5 and the length of BD is 12.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What is the length of Line segment BC?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

The altitude of the triangle is given by;

$\rm Altitude = \sqrt{xy}$

Where x is DC and y is 5 units.

Then,

The length DC is.

$\rm Altitude = \sqrt{xy}\\
\\
12 = \sqrt{(DC) \times 5}\\
\\
\sqrt{DC } = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{5}}\\
\\
$

Squaring on both sides

$\rm DC = \dfrac{144}{5}\\
\\
DC = 28.8$

Considering right triangle BDC, use the Pythagorean theorem to find BC:

$\rm BC^2 = DC^2+BD^2\\\\ BC^2 = (28.8)^2+(12)^2\\

\\
BC = \sqrt{829.44+144}\\
\\
BC = \sqrt{973.44}\\
\\
\rm BC = 31.2 \ units$

Hence, the length of the line segment BC is 31.2 units.

9. If PQRS is a kite, find RQ. *<br><br> 17 ft.<br> 23 ft.<br> 30 ft.<br> 12 ft.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the bottom left is a right triangle.

a² + b² = c²

(8 ft)² + (15 ft)² = (RQ)²

64 ft² + 225 ft² = (RQ)²

(RQ)² = 289 ft²

RQ = 17 ft

RST stock has an annual dividend per share of $4.35 and a closing price per share of 39.50. What is the yield % for RST stock (t

Nostrana [21]

Step 1

Yield% = (annual dividend per share) / (closing price per share)

$\begin{gathered} Yield\text{ \%}=\frac{\text{annual dividend per share}}{\text{closing price per share}} \\ \\ Yield\text{ \%}=\frac{4.35}{39.50} \\ \\ Yield\text{ \%}=\text{ 0.11} \end{gathered}$
