Answer:

40 games

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the team won 84 games in 2009

let the number of games they won in 2008 be x.

given:

2009 wins = 120% of 2008 wins

mathematically,

84 = 120% of x

84 = (120/100) x

x = 84 (100/120) = 40 games

Find the area. Please help

Nutka1998 [239]

The answer to your question is 77 because the formula for area for a triangle is A=1/2BH and the base is 11 feet and the height is 14 feet. So, (14•11)/2 is 77. Therefore, 77 squared feet is the answer.

Three lines of crops in a garden form a triangular shape. Strawberries are planted in a 10 ft line and green beans are planted i

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$p = 19.18$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is illustrated using the attachment and will be solved using cosine formula

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCosA$

<em>Let the strawberry side be s, the Green beans be b and the pumpkins be p.</em>

<em />

The cosine formula in this case is:

$g^2 = s^2 + p^2 - 2spCosG$

Where

$s = 10$

$g = 18$

The equation becomes

$18^2 = 10^2 + p^2 - 2 * 10 * p * Cos\ 68$

$324 = 100 + p^2 - 20 * p * 0.375$

$324 = 100 + p^2 - 7.5p$

Collect Like Terms

$p^2 - 7.5p + 100 - 324 = 0$

$p^2 - 7.5p - 224 = 0$

Using quadratic formula:

$p = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 1$

$b = -7.5$

$c = -224$

$p = \frac{-(-7.5)\±\sqrt{(-7.5)^2-4*1*-224}}{2*1}$

$p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{56.25+896}}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{952.25}}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5\± 30.86}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5 + 30.86}{2}$ or $p = \frac{7.5 - 30.86}{2}$

$p = \frac{38.36}{2}$ or $p = \frac{-23.36}{2}$

$p = 19.18$ or $p = -11.68$

But length can not be negative.

So:

$p = 19.18$

The equation of a line is y = 8x + 2, and the point (3,q) lies on this line.

never [62]

Answer:

q = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point (3, q ) lies on the line then the coordinates satisfy the equation.

Substitute x = 3, y = q into the equation

q = 8(3) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26
