The answer is option "A, 13".
As both triangles are similar.
<span>ΔRST ≅ ΔXYZ.
it means RS = XY
YZ = ST
and XZ = RT
Now given that RS = 13 which is equal to XY.
Thus XY is equal to 13.</span>
I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be

You're minimizing

subject to the constraint

. Note that

and

attain their extrema at the same values of

, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.
The Lagrangian is

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

Adding the first three equations together yields

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at

.
The squared distance is then

, which means the shortest distance must be

.
Answer:
y= -2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that models the relationship between the amount of money Sarah has left is 55- 0.65x= y
Answer:
12,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the current employees be x
65% increase in number = 0.65x
If the total number of employees after the increase is 20,460, then;
x + 0.65x = 20,460
1.65x = 20,460
x = 20,460/1.65
x = 12,400
Hence the current number of employees is 12,400
