200 flying insects she catch for her project .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , Heather had to collect insects for her biology project. She was able to collect 225 total insects. She collected 8 times as many insects that could fly as insects that couldn't fly. That means insects ratio of non-fly to fly is 1:8 .

There are a total of 225 insects , and for every one non fly insect there are 8 fly insects  , Let x be the number of insects that can't fly so:

x + 8x = 225

⇒ x + 8x = 225

⇒ 9x = 225

⇒ \frac{9}{9}x = \frac{225}{9}

⇒ x = \frac{225}{9}

⇒ x = 25

So , Number of fly insects = 8x = 8(25) = 200 . ∴ 200 flying insects she catch for her project .

Find the value of the trigonometric ratio. Simplify the ratio of possible.(Hint:you may need to use pythagorean theorem first)
sergey [27]
Your answer will be 17/15

Firstly you should use Pythagorean’s theorem like this
H²=p²+b²
Where p is bc
And b is ac
Then keep the value and solve it and you will get h as 17
At last keep cosA = b/ h
Hope it helps : )

How do i find the slope-<br> 20 points answer!<br> [imagine below included!]
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

3/3 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is..

Pick two formulas. Let's do (-5, -2) and (-2, 1)

x1  y1   x2 y2

(-5, -2)   (-2, 1)

\frac{1-(-2)}{-2-(-5)}    =   \frac{3}{3}  = 1

It'll work the same thing for (-2, 1) and (1,4)...

3/3 or 1 is a pattern between the points.
