Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the line MD that is parallel to AQ. Consider triangles BMD and BAQ. These triangles are similar, because they have three pairs of congruent angles (angles BMD and BAQ are corresponding, angles BDM and BQA are corresponding and angle B is common). The coefficient of similarity is \dfrac{1}{2}, because point M is midpoint of AB. Then

\dfrac{BD}{BQ}=\dfrac{1}{2}\Rightarrow BQ=2BD.

Since BQ=BD+DQ, then DQ=2BD-BD=BD.

Consider triangles CPQ and CMD. These triangles are similar, because they have three pairs of congruent angles (angles CPQ and CMD are corresponding, angles CQP and CDM are corresponding and angle C is common). The coefficient of similarity is \dfrac{1}{2}, because point P is midpoint of CM. Then

\dfrac{CQ}{CD}=\dfrac{1}{2}\Rightarrow CD=2CQ.

Since CD=CQ+DQ, then DQ=2CQ-CQ=CQ.

Hence you get CQ=DQ=BD=\dfrac{BC}{3}=\dfrac{12}{3}=4\ cm.

Pls help me to answer this​
Flauer [41]

Answers:

T-shirt = $25

Shorts = $15

Books = $50

Shoes = $30

Cell phones = $750

===============================================

Explanation:

Taking 10% of a number is simply moving the decimal point over one spot to the left.

For example, the selling price of a t-shirt is $250.00 and taking 10% of this gets us to $25.00

As another example, 10% of 150.0 is 15.0

If a whole number ends with a 0, then taking 10% of the number means we chop that zero off.

Consider the relationship chart for the a fast-food restaurant,
boyakko [2]

The layout of the fast-food restaurant of dimensions 6 by 8 5 feet squares is presented in the attached table created with Sheets.

<h3>How can the required layout be found?</h3>

The dimensions of the facility are;

Horizontal = 6 squares

Vertical = 8 squares

The side length of each square = 5 feet

Therefore;

Area of each square = 5² ft.² = 25 ft.²

Number of squares, <em>n</em>, required by each dependent are therefore;

CB department, <em>n </em>= 300 ÷ 25 = 12 squares

CF department, <em>n</em> = 200 ÷ 25 = 8 squares

PS department, <em>n </em>= 8 squares

DD department, <em>n</em> = 8 squares

CS department, <em>n</em> = 12 squares

A layout for the fast-food restaurant is therefore;

  • The first three vertical columns of 8 squares each are occupied by the CF, PS, and DD departments. The remaining 3 by 8 squares are occupied by the CB department, (3 by 4 squares), and the CS department, (3 by 4 squares)

Please see the attached table layout created using Sheets.
