Answer:

Total length of the first swing=64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;

Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing

where;

Total length of all 4 swings=175 m

Length of first swing=x

Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x

Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing

Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x

Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing

Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x

replacing;

Total length of all 4 swings

175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x

2.734375 x=175

x=175/2.734375

x=64

Total length of the first swing=x=64 m

Minerva starts a savings account with $50. The interest on the account balance is compounded annually. The graph below shows the
rodikova [14]

We can set up this equation using this formula:

a = p(1 + r/n)^nt

p = starting amount.

r = interest.

n = number of times it's compounded in a year

t = years

We'd set it up like this:

a = 50(1 + ?/1)^1(12)

Because we're missing the amount of interest, it would be impossible to tell what the amount would be after 12 years.

I don't know to find the answer to 8. Can someone explain to me?
lapo4ka [179]
Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.

A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'

B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)

C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)

D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n

_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.

The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.

Ramiro buys 50 packs of candy bars for $40 before a tax of 7.5%. He sells each candy var for 175% of what he paid before tax. ho
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Cost price of each candy = $0.80, Selling price of each candy = $1.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ramiro buys 50 packs of candy bars for $40 before a tax of 7.5%.

He sells each candy var for 175% of what he paid before tax.

Question asked:

How much does he buy each candy bar for ?

How much does he sell one for ?

Solution:

<u>By unitary method:</u>

Cost of 50 packs of candy bars = $40

Cost price of 1 pack of candy bars = \frac{40}{50} =\$0.8

Cost price of each candy = $0.80

Thus, he buy each candy bar for $0.80

Now:-

As he sells each candy var for 175% of what he paid before tax:-

Selling price of each candy = 0.80 \times 175%

                                              = 0.80\times\frac{175}{100} =\frac{140}{100}=\$1.4

Thus, he sell one candy for $1.40

Perimeter of rectangle floor is 80 feet. Find the dimention of the floor if the length is four times the width
erik [133]

Answer:

width = 8 ft & length = 32 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width be x and length be 4x.

we know, Perimeter = 2(l+b)

now,

2(4x + x) = 80

10x = 80

x = 80/10 = 8

x = 8

therefore,

width = x = 8 ft

length = 4x = 4 × 8 = 32 ft.

hope this helps you !
