Cut 5/12 of his lenght

remain 7/12 of his lenght
 
7/12*L - 6/7 *7/12*L=2 1/2 m
7/12*L(1-6/7)=7/12*L(7/7-6/7)=7/12*L*1/7=L/12 =2 1/2

⇒L=2 1/2 m *12=5/2*12=30 m

Original length was 30 m

Solve for x: 18 over 10= x over 12 Prove your answer in the show your work box.<br> Pls hurry
alexandr1967 [171]

i'm doing cross-multiplication for this problem:

\frac{18}{10}=\frac{x}{12}     multiply 18 · 12, which is 216

\frac{216}{10}=x     divide 216 ÷ 10, which is 21.6

21.6 = x, is the final answer

100 points! Mhanifa can you please help? Look at the picture attached. I will mark brainliest!

Answer:

1 and 2.

Midpoints calculated, plotted and connected to make the triangle DEF, see the attached.

  • D= (-2, 2), E = (-1, -2), F = (-4, -1)

3.

As per definition, midsegment is parallel to a side.

Parallel lines have same slope.

<u>Find slopes of FD and CB and compare. </u>

  • m(FD) = (2 - (-1))/(-2 -(-4)) = 3/2
  • m(CB) = (1 - (-5))/(1 - (-3)) = 6/4 = 3/2
  • As we see the slopes are same

<u>Find the slopes of FE and AB and compare.</u>

  • m(FE) = (-2 - (- 1))/(-1 - (-4)) = -1/3
  • m(AB) = (1 - 3)/(1 - (-5)) = -2/6 = -1/3
  • Slopes are same

<u>Find the slopes of DE and AC and compare.</u>

  • m(DE) = (-2 - 2)/(-1 - (-2)) = -4/1 = -4
  • m(AC) = (-5 - 3)/(-3 - (-5)) = -8/2 = -4
  • Slopes are same

4.

As per definition, midsegment is half the parallel side.

<u>We'll show that FD = 1/2CB</u>

  • FD = \sqrt{(2+1)^2+(-2+4)^2} = \sqrt{3^2+2^2} = \sqrt{13}
  • CB = \sqrt{(1 + 5)^2+(1+3)^2} = \sqrt{6^2+4^2} = 2\sqrt{13}
  • As we see FD = 1/2CB

<u>FE = 1/2AB</u>

  • FE = \sqrt{(-4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2} = \sqrt{3^2+1^2} = \sqrt{10}
  • AB = \sqrt{(-5 -1)^2+(3-1)^2} = \sqrt{6^2+2^2} = 2\sqrt{10}
  • As we see FE = 1/2AB

<u>DE = 1/2AC</u>

  • DE = \sqrt{(-2+1)^2+(2+2)^2} = \sqrt{1^2+4^2} = \sqrt{17}
  • AC = \sqrt{(-5 +3)^2+(3+5)^2} = \sqrt{2^2+8^2} = 2\sqrt{17}
  • As we see DE = 1/2AC

Which of the following best describes the graph of the polynomial function below?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A. The graph has two zeroes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A <em>zero of a polynomial</em> is a value of x that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

In other words, it is <em>an x-intercept</em>.

The graph crosses the x-axis twice, so there are two zeroes.
