Answer:

Red = 10 cm, blue = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the length of each red rod be </em><em>r </em><em>and each blue rod be </em><em>b</em>

<u>Then we have:</u>

  • 3r - 2b = 2
  • 3b - 4r = 2

<u>Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:</u>

  • 9r - 6b = 6
  • 6b - 8r = 4

<u>Add the equations to eliminate one of variables:</u>

  • 9r - 8r = 6 + 4
  • r = 10 cm

<u>Find the value of b:</u>

  • 3*10 -2b = 2
  • 30 - 2 = 2b
  • 2b = 28
  • b = 14 cm

Which function has the smallest minimum? (5 points)
Andrej [43]
f(x) has the smallest minimum. The minimum value of f(x) is -3

The largest sin(x) can get is 1.
This applies to sin(2x-pi) as well. So f(x) is as small as -5*(1)+2 = -5+2 = -3.
You can see this each time the red curve bottoms out at y = -3.

The smallest that g(x) can get is y = -2 as shown at the vertex (3,-2)

The smallest that h(x) can get is y = 3 as shown by the point (1,3)

See the attachment for a visual comparison of the three functions.

If two angles of one triangle equal in measure to two angles of another triangle then the third angles of the triangle
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Are also equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Say triangle A has the angles 30 and 60. triangle b also has those angles. Total angle of any triangle is 180 so 180-60-30 = 90 for triangle A and it is also the same for triangle b. Thus 90 = 90 angles are the same.
