<span>Let x = amt of water evaporated :.05(50) = .08(50-x) 2.5 = 4 - .08x .08x = 4 - 2.5 .08x = 1.5 x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated : ; Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right? .05(50) = .08(50-18.75) .05(50) = .08(31.25) 2.5 = 2.5</span>

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Option 3 or Option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have this doubt because actually, a rhombus with a right angle (one) is not necessarily a square. Some rhombuses have one right angle and are still not squares. Now, if the four angles are right, it is a square, but this only says one.

On other hand, a parallelogram with congruent diagonals isn't a square necessarily either. Rectangles have congruent diagonals and are parallelograms.

In case you only can answer with one, I'll say is option 3, hope it helps!

Find the equation of the exponential function represented by the table below: above^^^^
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use 2 coordinates from the table along with the standard form for an exponential function to write the equation that models that data. The standard form for an exponential function is

y=a(b)^x where x and y are coordinates from the table, a is the initial value, and b is the growth/decay rate. I will use the first 2 coordinates from the table: (0, 3) and (1, 1.5)

Solving first for a:

3=a(b)^0. Sine anything in the world raised to a power of 0 is 1, we can determine that

a = 3. Using that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate I chose, I can then solve for b:

1.5=3(b)^1. Since b to the first is just b:

1.5 = 3b so

b = .5

Filling in our model:

y=3(\frac{1}{2})^x

Since the value for b is greater than 0 but less than 1 (in other words a fraction smaller than 1), this table represents a decay function.

Please solve this geo problem
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Step-by-step answer:

The first step in solving a problem of geometry and trigonometry is to draw a diagram, with all the given information in it.  The attached image does just that.

Here, we have (horizontal) distance of building to the tower is 400'.

We see two right triangles, each with a leg of 400' (horizontal).

The vertical distances are denoted h1 and h2 for the angles of elevation 24 and 20 degrees respectively.

Using the definition of tangent, we have

h1= 400tan24=178.1

h2=400tan20=145.6

The height of the tower is therefore h1+h2=178.1+145.6=323.7 feet
