Answer: 13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, we know that in triangle UWV, $m\angle U=50^{\circ}$ . Thus, the triangles are similar by AA.

Since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{x}{24}=\frac{20}{36}\\x=(20/36)(24)=\boxed{13.3}$

The value of a dirt bike decreases by 20% each year. If you purchased this dirt bike today for $500, to the nearest dollar how m

jeka94

The value of the bike after a year becomes only 80% of the value a year ago. In this given, the initial amount $500 should be multiplied by 80% 5 times. The answer would be $163.84. Thus, after 5 years the dirt bike would only be $163.84.

Oil consumption in China grew exponentially from 8.938 million barrels per day in 2010 to 10.480 million barrels per day in 2013

Afina-wow [57]

Let the year represents x axis and consumption represents y axis.

Since 2010 is the initial year, x=0

and 2013 is third year , so x=3

Co-ordinates are (0,8.938)(3,10.480)

Exponential formula is $y=ab^{x}$

Putting the value of x in the above formula from 1st coordinate,

$8.938=ab^{0}$

As $b^{0}$ = 1

this gives a= 8.938

Now using the 2nd coordinate

$10.480=ab^{3}$

putting the value of a in it we have

$10.480=8.938b^{3}$

taking cube roots on both sides we get

b= 1.05448

Now putting the values of a and b in the exponential formula-

$y=8.938(1.05448)^{x}$

In the year 2028, x=28

so,

$y=8.938(1.05448)^{28}$

y= 39.474

Hence oil consumption per day in 2028 will be 39.474 million barrels.

Find the volume of the solid. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Vikki [24]

$V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} or V=4.1888 r^{3}$

r=4 $r^{3}$ =64*4.1888=268.083

V = 268.083 $mm^{3}$ so go with A.
