<span>If that line is parallel to one of the sides, then the statement is true.</span>

Answer: Sometimes.


Step-by-step explanation:  The condition is not always true. As explained in the figure attached, In triangle AB, line MN is not parallel to the side BC but in triangle DEF, line PQ is parallel to the side EF. We can see that triangle AMN is not parallel to triangle ABC but triangle DPQ is similar to triangle DEF. Thus, for the triangles to be similar, the line should be parallel to the third side of the triangle with which the line is not intersecting.

Thus, it is sometimes true.

Identify the volume of the composite figure, rounded to the nearest tenth. PLEASE HELP!!!
Anni [7]

Answer:

The volume of the composite figure is:

  • <u>312 ft^3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the volume of the composite figure, you can divide it in the known figures there, in this case, you can divide the figure in a cube and a pyramid with a square base. Now, we find the volume of each figure and finally add the two volumes.

<em>VOLUME OF THE CUBE. </em>

Finding the volume of a cube is actually simple, you only must follow the next formula:

  • Volume of a cube = base * height * width

So:

  • Volume of a cube = 6 ft * 6 ft * 6 ft
  • <u>Volume of a cube = 216 ft^3 </u>

<em>VOLUME OF THE PYRAMID. </em>

The volume of a pyramid with a square base is:

  • Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 B * h

Where:

<em>B = area of the base. </em>

<em>h = height. </em>

How you can remember, the area of a square is base * height, so B = 6 ft * 6 ft = 36 ft^2, now we can replace in the formula:

  • Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 36 ft^2 * 8 ft
  • <u>Volume of a pyramid = 96 ft^3 </u>

Finally, we add the volumes found:

  • Volume of the composite figure = 216 ft^3 + 96 ft^3
  • <u>Volume of the composite figure = 312 ft^3</u>

A man bought a car for 8500 GH cedis and he later sold it at for 9500. find his percentage gain
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

11.7647059 % gain

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the gain, take the new amount and subtract the original amount

9500-8500 = 1000

Divide by the original amount

1000/8500=.117647059

Multiply by 100% to get in percent form

11.7647059 % gain

What can you say about the y-values of the two functions f(x)=-5^x +2 and g(x)=-5x^2+2?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

B) The maximum y-value of f(x) approaches 2

C) g(x) has the largest possible y-value

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-5^x+2

f(x) is an exponential function.

Lim x→∞ f(x) = Lim x→∞ (-5^x+2) = -5^(∞)+2 = -∞+2→ Lim x→∞ f(x) = -∞

Lim x→ -∞ f(x) = Lim x→ -∞ (-5^x+2) = -5^(-∞)+2 = -1/5^∞+2 = -1/∞+2 = 0+2→

Lim x→ -∞ f(x) = 2

Then the maximun y-value of f(x) approaches 2


g(x)=-5x^2+2

g(x) is a quadratic function. The graph is a parabola

g(x)=ax^2+bx+c

a=-5<0, the parabola opens downward and has a maximum value at

x=-b/(2a)

b=0

c=2

x=-0/2(-5)

x=0/10

x=0

The maximum value is at x=0:

g(0)=-5(0)^2+2=-5(0)+2=0+2→g(0)=2

The maximum value of g(x) is 2
