imes the dimensions of Julian’s tank. If the area of the triangular base of Julian’s tank is approximately 400 square inches, what is the approximate area of the triangular base of James’ tank?
3,025 square inches
2,035 square inches
3,045 square inches

The approximate area of the triangular base of James’ tank is 3025 in²

To find the approximate area of the triangular base of James' tank, we need to know what scale is.

<h3>What is scale?</h3>

A scale is the ratio of two dimension. It is given by scale = New dimension/old dimension

Given that the dimensions of James’ tank are each exactly 2 3/4 times the dimensions of Julian’s tank.

The scale of the area of James' tank to the area of triangular base of Julian's tank is S = (2³/₄)²

= (11/4)²

= 121/16

Let

A = area of triangular base of James' tank,
A' = area of triangular base of Julian's tank = 400 in²

So, scale, S = A/A'

<h3>The approximate area of the triangular base of James’ tank</h3>

So, making A subject of the formula, we have

A = SA'

A = 121/16 × 400 in²

A = 121 × 25 in²

A = 3025 in²

So, the approximate area of the triangular base of James’ tank is 3025 in²

3. Is XY Tangent to circle Z?<br> Y<br> 12 X<br> (20<br> Z<br> 18

Ratling [72]

Answer:

XY is a tangent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$XY = 12$

$WY = 20$

$WZ = 8$

Required

Is XY a tangent?

XY is a tangent if:

$WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2$

Because XY should make a right angle at point X with the circle

Where

$WX = 2 * WZ$

So, we have:

$WY^2 = XY^2 + WX^2$

$WY^2 = XY^2 + (2*WZ)^2$

$WY^2 = XY^2 + (2WZ)^2$

$WY^2 = XY^2 + 4WZ^2$

This gives:

$20^2 = 12^2 + 4*8^2$

$400 = 144 + 256$

$400 = 400$

<em>Yes, XY is a tangent</em>

<span>1. 5564÷91
I know that 9 * 6 = 56
5564 rounds to 5600
91 rounds to 9
Since 56/9 = 6, then 5600/90 is the same as 560/9 = 60
The estimate is 60

2. </span><span>5391÷25
5391 sounds to 5400
25 is 1/4 of 100.
That means when you divide by 25, you can divide by 100 and multiply by 4.
5400/100 = 54
54 * 4 = 216
Estimate: 216

Repost 8th grade 50 POINTS+BRAINLIEST: How do you graph a quadratic equation in vertex form when the equation is a perfect squar

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: Vertex : Maximum (2, 0)

Rules:

(x + d)² = x² + 2dx + d² and (x - d)² = x² - 2dx + d²

x² + 2dx = (x + d)² - d² and x² - 2dx = (x - d)² - d²

Solve:

x² - 4x + 4

x² - 2(2x) + 2²

(x - 2)²

Into vertex form: a(x - h)² + k

1(x - 2)² + 0

Identify:

vertex : (h, k) = (2, 0)

Find additional things, to graph the equation:

(i) x-intercept: (2, 0)

(ii) y-intercept: (0, 4)

Graph shown:
