Step-by-step explanation:

because VW || YZ, the 2 triangles are similar.

this is given by the rules of equal angles of intersecting lines with parallel lines. Z to V and Y to W would be such intersecting lines.

and therefore, the angle at W is the angle at Y, the angle at V is the angle at Z. and therefore both angles at A are equal.

so, for similar triangles the scaling factor between corresponding pairs of sides is the same for all sides.

e.g. the same scaling factor that converts 7.2 to 12, converts then also x to x+4.

7.2 × f = 12

f = 12/7.2 = 12/ 72/10 = 120/72 = 10/6 = 5/3

x × 5/3 = x + 4

5x = 3x + 12

2x = 12

x = 6

A to Y = x = 6

W to A = x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

Simplify the expression.<br> (x 3/2)6

Sliva [168]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

$(x ^ {\frac {3} {2}}) ^ 6$

We have that by definition of properties of powers that is fulfilled:

$(a ^ n) ^ m = a ^ {n * m}$

Then, rewriting the expression:

$x ^ {\frac {3 * 6} {2}} =\\x ^ {\frac {18} {2}} =\\x ^ 9$

Answer:

$(x^{\frac{3}{2}})^6=x^9$

Identify Slope and Y intercept for the equation X=4 M=B=

krek1111 [17]

Undefined and Undefined

Since the equation is x = 4, there is no y-intercept as x will never equal 0.

Additionally, since the equation is x = 4, there is no change in x value and as such the slope can not be determined.

An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of stude

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of a proportion is given by:

$p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$

Where 'p' is the proportion of students who responded 'yes', 'z' is the z-score for a 95% confidence interval (which is known to be 1.960), and 'n' is the number of students in the sample.

If the confidence interval is from 0.584 to 0.816, then:

$p=\frac{0.584+0.816}{2}=0.7 \\0.816-0.584=2*(1.96*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}) \\0.116=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7*(1-0.7)}{n}}\\n=16.8966^2*(0.7*0.3)\\n=60\ students$

60 students were in the sample.

A slice of pizza costs $1.57. How much will 27 slices cost?

elena-s [515]

It will be cost $ 42.39 for 27 slices of pizza

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

A slice of pizza = $1.57

27 slices of pizza = the number of pizza x price/slice

= 27 x 1.57

We are going to use standard algorithm to solve this multiplication

1.57 ⇒ 2 decimal places

<u> 27</u> x ⇒ 0 decimal place

1099

<u> 314 </u>+

42.39 ⇒ 2 decimal places

In decimal number multiplication, the process is the same with the whole number multiplication. Only always remember when to put the decimal point in the answer.
