short piece = x

 long piece = 5x +1

x +5x +1 = 25

6x = 24

x = 24/6 = 4

 short piece = 4 feet

long piece = 21 feet

25 = L + S where L is longer piece and S is shorter piece
L = 5S + 1
Then 25 = 5S + 1 + S
         25 = 6S + 1
         24 = 6S
           S = 4
           L = 21

The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are parallel is _____________.
a_sh-v [17]
They are the same slope

they are negative inversees (they multily to get -1)

2

-1/2

use the square viewer (on TI)





The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are parallel is they are the same. The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are perpendicular is they are negative inverses of each other (they multiply to -1).
A line that is parallel to a line whose slope is 2 has slope 2.
A line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is 2 has slope -1/2.

What must be done to make the graphs of two perpendicular lines appear to intersect at right angles when they are graphed using a graphing utility?

Does Anyone know this?

Answer:

∠AEC = 139°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since EC bisects ∠BED then ∠BEC = ∠CED = 4x + 1

∠AED = ∠AEB + ∠BEC + ∠CED = 180 ← straight angle

Substitute values into the equation

11x - 12 + 4x + 1 + 4x + 1 = 180, that is

19x - 10 = 180 ( add 10 to both sides )

19x = 190 ( divide both sides by 19 )

x = 10

Hence

∠AEC = ∠AEB + ∠BEC = 11x - 12 + 4x + 1 = 15x - 11, hence

∠AEC = (15 × 10) - 11 = 150 - 11 = 139°

If a sprinkler waters 1/15 of a lawn in 1/5 of an hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we can first find out how many minutes is 1/5th of an hour which is: 12 mins.

Now we know it will take 15 sets of 12 minutes to water the full lawn so we can multiply 15*12 to get our answer.

15*12 = 180

Now we divide 180 (minutes) by 60 (minutes) to find out how many hours that is:

180/60 = 3 hours

Hope this helped! If possible please leave a thanks so I can continue to help out others :),

comment if you have any questions.
