Consider two people where one person is 20​% taller than the other but proportioned in exactly the same way.​ (That is, the tall

er person looks like a larger version of the shorter​ person.) Suppose the shorter person has a 36​-inch waist. What size is the taller​ person's waist?

Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

maw [93]

Answer:

Rule:

h = (1 - y,x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>I will answer generally, since the coordinates of f, g and h are not given</em>

Given

Point: x, y

Translation Rule

1 : x + 3, y - 1

2: 90 degree counterclockwise

Required

Determine the new coordinates

<u>At the first translation of (x,y) by x + 3, y - 1</u>

The new point is: (x + 3, y - 1)

<u>At the second translation (90 degrees counterclockwise)</u>

When a point (x,y) is translated using this rule, it becomes (-y,x)

So, the new point is:

h = (-(y - 1),x + 3)

h = (1 - y,x + 3)

If the initial point of h is (2,3),

The new point is:

h = (1 - 3, 2 + 3)

h = (- 2, 5)

What is the length of AC? What is the measure of angle A? What is the measure of angle B?
kipiarov [429]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find AC using Pythagorean Theorem:

AC² = 25.2² - 11.3²

AC² = 507.35

AC = √507.35

AC = 22.5 (nearest tenth)

✔️Find m<A using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = A

Opp = 11.3

Hyp = 25.2

Sin(A) = opp/hyp

Sin(A) = 11.3/25.2

A = sin^{-1}(11.3/25.2)

A = 26.6° (nearest tenth)

✔️Find m<B using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = B

Adj = 11.3

Hyp = 25.2

Cos(A) = adj/hyp

Cos(A) = 11.3/25.2

A = cos^{-1}(11.3/25.2)

A = 63.4° (nearest tenth)

a scanner scanned 72 photos in 8 minutes if it scans photos at a constant rate it can scan ___ photos in 23 minutes
Leni [432]
If it can scan 72 photos in 8 minutes, it can scan 72/8 = 9 photos per minute.
So in 23 minutes, it can scan 9x23 = 207 photos

What does powers of fractions mean <br> we learned it today and i didn't get it
Leokris [45]
Its same as powers of a whole number.
Lets take example
(1/2)²=1/2×1/2=1/4
We can write it in a different way (0.5)²=0.5×0.5=0.25
