So 12 mins to 600 feet
35 mins=1900 feet
find the slope which is change in top over change in bottom (aka slope) so to find do
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
we want, per minute, so put the time as x1 and x2
x1=12
y1=600
x2=35
y2=1900
subsitutte
(600-1900)/(12-35)=-1300/-23=56.5 per minute
the answe ris 56.5 feet per minute or the last answer

L.) How do you construct congruent segments, segment bisectors, angles, and angle bisectors using tools such as a compass and a

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Construction of congruent segment: First we take the measurement of the line segment with help of marked scale or a compass, then by pointing the measurements we can get the congruent line segment.

Construction of congruent angle:

Step 1: Make two congruent segments,

Step 2: Adjust compass in a fixed length.

Step 3: Make an angle on any side of one segments with help of compass,

Step 4 : Again, make an angle on any side of the another segment with the same adjusted compass.

Construction of segment bisector,

Step 1: First place the compass on the one end of the segment,

Step 2: Adjust the compass approx to the half length of the segment,

Step 3: Draw arc above and below to the segment,

Step 4: Now, go the other end and by the same length draw two arcs by crossing the previous arcs.

Step 5: join the above and below crossed marks.

Construction of angle bisector:

Step 1: Place the compass on the vertex of the angle,

Step 2: Adjust the compass in any length,

Step 3: Make an arc in one segment of the angle and from that arc again Make an arc above the angle

Step 4: Make an arc of the same length in the another segment by the same vertex and crossed the arc made above the vertex.

Step 5: join the point of crossing and the vertex of the angle.

Publix sells apples and oranges for $0.79 per pound. Marc puts 1.2 pounds of oranges in his cart then adds some apples. The tota

finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to multiply .79 to both a and 1.2. A is wrong because it's saying we need to multiply .79 to 1.2lb. which is the weight of oranges and the total cost of apples and oranges which is 6.27.

Two constructors working together finished building a room in 6 days. how long would it take for each constructor to build the r

Gekata [30.6K]

It would take one construction worker 9 days and the other 18 days.

Let x be the number of days the first construction worker takes to build the room by himself. If x were 2, he could build 1/2 of the room in the time limit, etc...so 1/x will be the portion of the room he can build by himself in the given tie limit.

The second construction worker can build 1/(x+9) of the room by himself in the given time limit.

Together, we have the equation
1/x(6) + 1/(x+9)(6) = 1

[The speed of the first contractor times the number of days, and the speed of the second contractor times the number of days; together they build 100% of the room]

This gives us

6/x+ 6/(x+9) = 1

We will multiply everything by x to get it off of the denominator:
6/x(x) +(6/(x+9))(x)= x
6 + 6x/(x+9) = x

Multiply everything by x+9 now:

6(x+9) + (6x/(x+9))(x+9) = x(x+9)
6x + 54 + 6x = x² + 9x
12x + 54 = x² + 9x

Subtract 12x from each side:
12x + 54 - 12x = x²+9x-12x
54 = x²-3x

Subtract 54 from each side:
54-54 = x²-3x-54
0 = x²-3x-54

This factors easily; -9(6) = -54 and -9+6 = -3:
0 = (x-9)(x+6)

Using the zero product property we know either x-9=0 or x+6=0; this gives us x=9 or x=-6. Negative time makes no senses, so x=9 hours.

This means the slower contractor takes 9+9 = 18 hours.
