Answer:

$a=\dfrac{16}{3}\ un.$

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle XZW, the height WY is the geometric mean of segments ZY and XY.

Hence,

$WY^2 =ZY\cdot XY,\\ \\4^2=3\cdot a,\\ \\a=\dfrac{16}{3}\ un.$

The cup was filled at a constant rate. It started empty. After 2 seconds, it held 70 cm cubed of water.Find the percent of the c

Helen [10]

Answer:

In 3 seconds the cup is filled with $105\ cm^3$ <u>.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 seconds = $70\ cm^3$ water

We need to find the percent of the cup that is filled with water after 3 seconds.

Solution:

Now Given:

The cup was filled at a constant rate.

First we will find the volume of water filled in the cup after 1 seconds.

2 seconds = $70\ cm^3$ water

1 seconds = Volume of water filled in 1 second.

By Using Unitary method we get;

Volume of water filled in 1 second = $\frac{70}{2}= 35\ cm^3$

Now we will find the volume of water filled in the cup after 3 seconds.

1 second = $35\ cm^3$ of water is filled

3 seconds = volume of water filled in the cup after 3 seconds

Again by using Unitary method we get;

volume of water filled in the cup after 3 seconds = $35 \times 3 = 105\ cm^3$

Hence In 3 seconds the cup is filled with $105\ cm^3$ .

To find the percent of the cup filled with water after 3 seconds we would required the dimensions of the cup which is not available in the question.

If a triangle with angle measures 40,30.and 120 centimeters possible?

vagabundo [1.1K]

No, the longest side must be less than the sum of the smaller sides or else they won't connect (try it yourself with straw or something)

40+30>120
70>120
false, therfor they canonot be a triangle

Numbers 6,7,8 I can't figure out

marysya [2.9K]

6. Take your compass and place the pointed edge on point B. Place one point on each side of B, each the same distance away from B. Next, place your compass on one of the two new points and extend your compass to draw a circle. Repeat with the SAME radian from the other point. Find where the two circles intersect with each other and draw a line from the points of intersection to point B. Place point A anywhere on that line that you just created and then you're done!

7. Select any place along either line and place point S on it. Next, using the same method as above, draw two circles with the same radius around both points S and R. Draw a line through the intersection points. Locate the intersection where your new line connects with the line across from the shared line of RS. Place a point at the intersection, for your reference, then connect that point to point S. Now you have completed this problem as well.

8. Use a straight edge to draw one line. Place points A and B on each end. Use the circle method yet again to find a line perpendicular to line AB. Next, take your compass and set it to the distance from point A to B. Use that same distance to make a point on the perpendicular line. This creates point C. The final step is to connect A with C and B with C.

10(x+12)=15x solve for x with how ?

ankoles [38]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

10(x+12)=15x (Given)

10x + 120 = 15x (Distributive property of equality)

-5x = -120 (Subtraction property of equality)

x = 24 (Division property of equality)
