Answer:

A.  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 3 units long.

Point C is on the line x = −1.

FIND:

If the area of ΔABC is 6 square units, then find a possible y-coordinate of point C.

SOLUTION:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b * h

segment AB is a horizontal line

the base of our triangle and point C is somewhere on the height.

If we can find the height of the triangle, we can add or subtract that height from y = 2 to get the possible y coordinate of point C.

We know that the x coordinate is -1 so,

6 = 1/2 (3) h

12 = 3h

h = 4

we can either add 4 or subtract 4 to the y coordinate of 2 to get the possible y coordinate of point C.

option 1

2 + 4 = 6 so the coordinate for C could be (-1, 6) or

option 2

2 - 4 = -2 so the coordinate for C could also be (-1, -2).

Since -2 is not in our choices but 6.

therefore,

the answer would be A. 6

Rhonda has $4.85 in coins. If she has six more nickels than dimes and twice as many quarters as dimes, how many coins of each ty
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: nickels = 13, dimes = 7, quarters = 14

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, set up the equations for each coin:

\begin {array}{c|c|c|l}\underline{\quad Type\quad }&\underline{Value}&\underline{Quantity}&\underline{\qquad \qquad \qquad Equation\qquad }\\ Nickel& \$0.05&6+d&0.05(6+d) = 0.30 + 0.05d\\Dime& \$0.10&d&\qquad 0.10(d)=0.10d\\Quarter& \$0.25&2d&\qquad 0.25(2d)=0.50d\\\end{array}

Next, the sum of the coins is $4.85 so substitute and solve for the variable:

   Nickels         +   Dimes  +   Quarters = Sum

(0.30 + 0.05d)  +    0.10d   +     0.50d   =  4.85

0.30 + 0.65d = 4.85

            0.65d = 4.55

                    d = 7

Lastly, plug the d-value into the quantity equation for the nickels and quarters to find their quantity.

nickels: 6 + d   = 6 + (7)   = 13

quarters: 2d   = 2(7)   = 14

The size of a television is given by the length of its diagonal. What is the size
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

it is A. 60 in

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the Pythagorean theorem for this. Take the square root of (48^2 + 36^2). This will give you the length of the diagonal.

48^2 + 36^2 = 3600

Remember we need to take the square root of 3600, which is just 60.

The length of the diagonal is 60 inches.
