Point Q is the midpoint of GH

so GQ = QH

Given GQ=2x+3, and GH=5x−5 .

2x + 3 = 5x − 5

3x = 8

x = 8/3

GQ = 2(8/3) +3

GQ = 16/3 + 3

GQ = 16/3 + 9/3

GQ = 25/3

GQ = 8 1/3

Use the converse of the Pythagorean theorem to decide whether ΔABC is a right triangle by answering the questions.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1. we have to find a. b is 12 and c is 15 because the right angle is pointing towards 15 so that is the hypotenuse. then we simply plug the info in the equation we have above.

a^2 + 12^2 = 15^2

a^2 + 144 = 225

a^2 = 81 --> sqaure root to find the answer basically.

a = 9

- we put AD as a so AD = 9

final answer : 9

2. to find AC, simply add AD and DC.

9 + 16 = 25

final answer: AC = 25

3. ABC is not a right triangle because it does not have a right angle. the smaller triangles do, but that does not mean that ABC is a right triangle.

A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 140 lb and each bo
Stells [14]

Answer:

21 boxes of books

Step-by-step explanation:

guy= 140 lbs

each box= 40lbs                       elevator can only weigh up to 1010

i took 1010- 140 and got 870lbs left for the books

then i took 870 divided by 40 (to see how many boxes of books can be put on the elevator) and got 21.75

so 21 boxes could go on the elevator at a time

How do i multiply fractions
Hatshy [7]
Best Answer:  <span> to multiply fractions you simply take the denominator of both fractions and multiply them, do the same to the numerator, and you have your answer.
ex.
2 5 10
-- * -- = ----
4 8 32

then, of course, you would need to simplify.

so the answer is

10(/2) 5
-------- = -----
32(/2) 16


To multiply mixed numbers, you need to convert them to improper fractions, multiply and then convert them back to a mixed number. For example:
2 1/2 x 5 1/3 = 5/2 x 16 /3

numerator 5 x 16 = 80 denominator 2 x 3 = 6

so now you convert 80/6 into a mixed number

80 / 6 = 13 and 2/6 or, reduced, 13 1/3. </span>

The ten sides of a regular decagon are colored with five different colors, so that all five colors are used, and sides that are
const2013 [10]

Answer:

  • <u>120</u>

Explanation:

Number the sides of the decagon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, from top (currently red) clockwise.

  • The side number one can be colored of five different colors (red, orange, blue, green, or yellow): 5
  • The side number two can be colored with four different colors: 4
  • The side number three can be colored with three different colors: 3
  • The side number four can be colored with two different colors: 2
  • The side number five can be colored with the only color left: 1
  • Each of the sides six through ten can be colored with one color, the same as its opposite side: 1

Thus, by the multiplication or fundamental principle of counting, the number of different ways to color the decagon will be:

  • 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 ×1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 120.

Notice that numbering the sides starting from other than the top side is a rotation of the decagon, which would lead to identical coloring decagons, not adding a new way to the number of ways to color the sides of the figure.
