Answer:

$3.50(b+c)-28.09$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of blueberry slices = b and number of cherry slices = c.

As, each slice sells for the price of $3.50.

Thus, the revenue of total slices sold = $3.50(b+c)$

Also, the money spent on ingredients of both the pie is $15.25 and $12.84 respectively.

Thus, the total selling cost of the slices = $15.25 + $12.84 = $28.09.

So, we have,

Cindy's profit = Revenue - Cost

i.e. Cindy's profit = $3.50(b+c)-28.09$

Hence, the required expression is $3.50(b+c)-28.09$ .

On a coordinate plane, kite W X Y Z is shown. Point W is at (negative 3, 3), point X is at (2, 3), point Y is at (4, negative 4)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$P = 10 + 2\sqrt{53}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Kite WXYZ

W (-3, 3), X (2, 3),

Y (4, -4), Z (-3, -2)

Required

Determine perimeter of the kite

First, we need to determine lengths of sides WX, XY, YZ and ZW using distance formula;

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

For WX:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (-3, 3),\ (2, 3)$

$WX = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (3 - 3)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (0)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{25}$

$WX = 5$

For XY:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (2, 3)\ (4,-4)$

$XY = \sqrt{(2 - 4)^2 + (3 - (-4))^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{-2^2 + (3 +4)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{-2^2 + 7^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{4 + 49}$

$XY = \sqrt{53}$

For YZ:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (4,-4)\ (-3, -2)$

$YZ = \sqrt{(4 - (-3))^2 + (-4 - (-2))^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(4 +3)^2 + (-4 +2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{7^2 + (-2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$YZ = \sqrt{53}$

For ZW:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (-3, -2)\ (-3, 3)$

$ZW = \sqrt{(-3 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - 3)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(-3 +3)^2 + (-2 - 3)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{0^2 + (-5)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{0 + 25}$

$ZW = \sqrt{25}$

$ZW = 5$

The Perimeter (P) is as follows:

$P = WX + XY + YZ + ZW$

$P = 5 + \sqrt{53} + \sqrt{53} + 5$

$P = 5 + 5 + \sqrt{53} + \sqrt{53}$

$P = 10 + 2\sqrt{53}$ units

HELPP 35 POINTS!!!!! Point Q is the center of Circle Q in the diagram below. The measure of angle XAY is 72° (m∠XAY = 72°). Sinc

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Se explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows the circle with center Q. In this circle, angle XAY is inscribed angle subtended on the arc XY. Angle XQY is the central angle subtended on the same arc XY.

The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle that subtends the same arc on the circle. Therefore,

$m\angle XBY=2m\angle XAY=2\cdot 72^{\circ}=144^{\circ}$

The measure of the intercepted arc XY is the measure of the central angle XQY and is equal to 144°.

All angles that have the same endpoints X and Y and vertex lying in the middle of the quadrilateral XAYQ have measures satisfying the condition

$72^{\circ}$

because angle XAY is the smallest possible angle subtended on the arc XY in the circle and angle XQY is the largest possible angle in the circle subtended on the arc XY.

Solve for c <br><br> a= b+c/d

castortr0y [4]

B+c/d=a subtract b from both sides

c/d=a-b multiply both sides by d

c=d(a-b) or if you prefer

c=ad-bd

Note: if you meant a=(b+c)/d, multiply both sides by d

b+c=ad subtract b from both sides

c=ad-b
