Melanie is 48 feet away from the building.
Heres my working

20% of 25=20 so 20% of 60=48.
Hope this helped ☺️

What does "d2" mean in trigonometry?

Lisa [10]

D is a notation for differential. There is a d2 in your formula because in the numerator there are two differentials. The formula is thus the second derivative of a function with respect to two variables.

Are triangles PRU and STQ congruent? Question 2 options:

denis23 [38]

PRU and STQ are not congruent because they aren’t the same size.

No, because they aren’t the same size.

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

Both PRU and STQ triangles aren't in the same size, So it is not congruent. Triangles are congruent if two pairs of corresponding angles and a couple of inverse sides are equivalent in the two triangles.

If there are two sets of corresponding angles and a couple of comparing inverse sides that are not equal in measure, at that point the triangles are not congruent.

Solve. 4x−y−2z=−8 −2x+4z=−4 x+2y=6 Enter your answer, in the form (x,y,z), in the boxes in simplest terms. x= y= z=

Answer:

(-2, 4, -2)

x=-2, y=4, z=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the three equations:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\-2x+4z=-4\\x+2y=6$

And we want to find the value of each variable.

To solve this system, first look at it and consider what you should try to do.

So we can see that the second and third equations both have an x.

Therefore, we can isolate the variables for the second and third equation and then substitute them into the first equation to make the first equation all xs.

Therefore, let's first isolate the variable in the second and third equation.

Second Equation:

$-2x+4z=-4$

First, divide everything by -2 to simplify things:

$x-2z=2$

Subtract x from both sides. The xs on the left cancel:

$(x-2z)-x=2-x\\-2z=2-x$

Now, divide everything by -2 to isolate the z:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}$

So we've isolated the z variable. Now, do the same to the y variable in the third equation:

$x+2y=6$

Subtract x from both sides:

$2y=6-x$

Divide both sides by 2:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}$

Now that we've isolated the y and z variables, plug them back into the first equation. Therefore:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})-2(-\frac{2-x}{2})=-8$

Distribute the third term. The -2s cancel out:

$4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x)=-8$

Since there is still a fraction, multiply everything by 2 to remove it:

$2(4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x))=2(-8)$

Distribute:

$8x-(6-x)+2(2-x)=-16\\8x-6+x+4-2x=-16$

Combine like terms:

$8x+x-2x-6+4=-16\\7x-2=-16$

Add 2 to both sides:

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7:

$(7x)/7=(-14)/7\\x=-2$

Therefore, x is -2.

Now, plug this back into the second and third simplified equations to get the other values.

Second equation:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}\\ z=-\frac{2-(-2)}{2}\\z=-\frac{4}{2}\\z=-2$

Third equation:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}\\y=\frac{6-(-2)}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4$

Therefore, the solution is (-2, 4, -2)
