In this problem, you are looking at a pair of similar trapezoids. So we must be looking for a ratio between a side in the smaller trapezoid and the corresponding side in the bigger trapezoid. We are given the lengths of AB and EF, which we can use to find this ratio.
But before we do anything we must convert units so that all units are the same. Let's convert the 60 feet into inches. 60 feet is 720 inches.
Next, set up the ratio I mentioned earlier. If we set up the ratio so that it is smaller:larger, we would get 4:720, which simplifies to 1:180. Basically what this ratio says is that every 1 inch in the smaller trapezoid corresponds to 180 inches in the bigger trapezoid. Now we can use this ratio to find the lengths of the sides in the bigger trapezoid. Just multiply all the lengths of the smaller trapezoid by 180 to get the lengths for the bigger trapezoid. Finally, when we have all our side lengths, divide them all by 12 (because 12 inches in 1 foot) to get the measurements in feet.

From here, I'll let you find the total length yourself.

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is $\mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x

The equation in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

The both equations given are parallel. So, they have same slope.

Slope of given equation y= - 2/3x is m = -2/3

This equation is in slope-intercept form, comparing with general equation $y=mx+b$ where m is slope , we get the value of m= -2/3

So, slope of required line is: m = -2/3

Finding y-intercept

Using slope m = -2/3 and point (-3,5) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\5=-\frac{2}{3}(-3)+b\\5=2+b\\ b=5-2\\b=3$

So, we get b = 3

Now, the equation of required line:

having slope m = -2/3 and y-intercept b =3

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is $\mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }$

A group of 85 people were asked whether or not they prefer a bagel or a muffin for breakfast and whether or not they prefer milk

gladu [14]

Answer:

The answer(s) would be WY/WZ, or WYZ (If this is multiple choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasoning is that in the "IRL Equation" the polls showed that orange juice was prefered over milk, and didn't matter whether they wanted a bagel or muffin. All that matters in this equation is that it is one sided (For the 1st poll that is) and now you are able to narrow down the possibilities of the answer(s).
