I'm thinking maybe x is supposed to represent the number of tasks completed because it states Shelly earned 90 points on each task.  Then when put together it may look like this, let's say there are 4 tasks= Ex.90 times the 4 tasks minus 20 points which would total the points Terrence's has earned. So i believe x is the total tasks. Hope I didn't make it confusing...

X is the number of tasks

It says Shelly earned 90 points on each task. So the equation shows Shelly getting 90 points times the number of tasks (x) that she did. Then they simply subtract 20 from the total to get Terrence's total amount of points.

Rate of change between 1 and 3: find the y values for 1 and 3:

Rate of change = (6-1) / (3-1) = 5/2

Rate of change from 2 and 4:

= (10-3) / (4-2) = 7/2

The rate from 2 to 4 is larger because 7/2 is larger than 5/2

These two trapezoids are similar What is the correct way to complete the similarity statement?
pentagon [3]

Option A:

\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE}

Solution:

ABCD and EGFH are two trapezoids.

To determine the correct way to tell the two trapezoids are similar.

Option A: \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE}

AB = GF (side)

BC = FH (side)

CD = HE (side)

DA = EG (side)

So, \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE} is the correct way to complete the statement.

Option B: \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{EGFH}

In the given image length of AB ≠ EG.

So, \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{EGFH} is the not the correct way to complete the statement.

Option C: \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{FHEG}

In the given image length of AB ≠ FH.

So, \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{FHEG} is the not the correct way to complete the statement.

Option D: \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{HEGF}

In the given image length of AB ≠ HE.

So, \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{HEGF} is the not the correct way to complete the statement.

Hence, \mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE} is the correct way to complete the statement.

A building contractor is to dig a foundation 30 feet​ long, 12 feet​ wide, and 6 feet deep. The contractor pays ​$20 per load fo
kogti [31]

Answer:

$1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the foundation: 30*12*6 = 2160 cubic feet

we need to convert this into yards because a truckload is 8 cubic yards, 2160/3 = 720 cubic yd

One truckload is 8 cubic yards

# of truckloads needed: 720/8 = 90 truckloads

Cost: $20*90 = $1800
