Answer:

x equals 3.00cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem.

a = (14x-45)

b = (16x+27)

c = (25x)

Plug in the variables above into Pythagoras' Theorem that is, a^2+b^2=c^2.

Solve the resulting quadratic equation and reject the negative answer as length is always positive.

What is the quotient?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

● (-3/8) ÷(-1/4)

Flip the second fraction by putting 1 instead 4 and vice versa.

● (-3/8)* (-4/1)

-4 over 1 is -4 since dividing by 1 gives the same number.

● (-3/8)*(-4)

Eliminate the - signs in both fractions since multiplying two negative numbers by each other gives a positive number.

●( 3/8)*4

● (3*4/8)

8 is 2 times 4

● (3*4)/(4*2)

Simplify by eliminating 4 in the fraction.

● 3/2

The result is 3/2

Triss [41]

Answer:

percent (%) of ancient prehistoric thinner than 3 is 0.0013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

mean =  5.1 millimeters (mm)

standard deviation = 0.7 mm

to find out

percent (%) of ancient prehistoric thinner than 3

solution

we have given mean and SD

so Z will be = x -mean  / SD

Z = ( x - 5.1 ) / 0.7

so P( x < 3 ) = P ( (x - 5.1 ) / 0.7  <  ( 3 - 5.1 ) / 0.7 )

P( Z  = ( 3 - 5.1 ) / 1.5 )

P( Z  =  -3 ) = 0.0013

percent (%) of ancient prehistoric thinner than 3 is 0.0013

zloy xaker [14]

<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>

A colony of flowers is pollinated by hummingbirds and sunbirds. Let H represents the number of hummingbirds and S represent the number of sunbirds that must pollinate the colony so it can survive until next year.

6H+ 4S> 74

This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony. What is the least number of sun birds that must pollinate the colony to ensure that it will survive until next year?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The least number of sun birds is 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given inequality is:

6H + 4S > 74

Where,

H is the number of hummingbirds

S is the number of sunbirds

This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony

Substitute H = 8 in given inequality

6(8) + 4S > 74

48 + 4S > 74

Subtract 48 from both sides

48 + 4S - 48 > 74 - 48

4S > 26

Divide both sides by 4

S > 6.5

Hence the least number of sun birds is 7

Let's create an equation for this problem.

Let x=the amount the runner-up receives

Let 5x=the amount the winner receives

Then,

x+5x=90,000

6x=90,000

x=15,000

5x=75,000
