Answer: Choice A
x = 19, RZ = 49, and RT = 98
====================================================
How to get that answer:
Z is the midpoint of RT. This midpoint splits segment RT into two equal pieces RZ and ZT
RZ = ZT
4x-27 = 49
4x = 49+27
4x = 76
x = 76/4
x = 19
So far, we can see that the answer is either choice A or choice D.
------------------
If x = 19, then
RZ = 4x-27
RZ = 4*19-27
RZ = 76 - 27
RZ = 49
Which points us to Choice A as the final answer
-------------------
We could skip the second section entirely because we initially set RZ equal to ZT, and ZT was 49. However, I showed that section to help confirm that we had the correct x value.
Also,
RT = RZ + ZT
RT = 49 + 49
RT = 98
The volume of a cone is V = (1/3)*pi*h*r^2
V = (1/3)*3.14*8*12^2 = 1206 cu.cm
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 2y - 4 --- Equation 1
7x + 5y = -66 --- Equation 2
I will be using the substitution method to solve this.
Substitute x = 2y - 4 into Equation 2:
7x + 5y = -66
7(2y - 4) + 5y = -66
Evaluate.
14y - 28 + 5y = -66
Evaluate like terms.
19y - 28 = -66
Isolate 19y.
19y = -66 + 28
= -38
Find y.
y = -38 ÷ 19
y = -2 --- Equation 3
Substitute y = -2 into Equation 1:
x = 2y - 4
x = 2(-2) - 4
Evaluate.
x = -4 - 4
x = -8
Teddy =X
Dolls= 2x-14
2x-14+X=52
3X-14=52
Add 14
3X=66
Divide by 3
X= 22
Teddy are 22
Dolls 2(22)-14=30

Two possible answers: 6 or -6</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
To get any term in a geometric sequence, we multiply the previous term by r.
So that means 4r is the second term, since 4 is the first term.
The third term is (4r)*r = 4r^2, which is equal to 9 as given to us.
4r^2 = 9
4r^2 - 9 = 0
(2r)^2 - (3)^2 = 0
(2r - 3)(2r + 3) = 0 ... difference of squares rule
2r-3 = 0 or 2r+3 = 0
2r = 3 or 2r = -3
r = 3/2 or r = -3/2
r = 1.5 or r = -1.5
We can use each r value to find the possible second term
S = 4r = 4*(1.5) = 6
S = 4r = 4*(-1.5) = -6
The second term is either 6 or -6.
We could have this sequence: 4, 6, 9, ...
Or we could have this sequence: 4, -6, 9, ...
