Refer to the diagram shown below.

The triangles ΔABC and ΔADE are similar because of AAA.
Therefore
\frac{AC}{AE} =  \frac{BC}{DE} \\\\
 \frac{x}{x+3.1}  =  \frac{2.4}{4.2} =  0.5714 \\\\ x = 0.5714(x+3.1)
0.4286x = 1.7713
x = 4.133 m

The length of the slide is x + 3.1 = 4.133 + 3.1 = 7.233 m

Answer: 7.2 m (nearest tenth)

What is the approximate percent decrease when a fish count goes down from 850 to 500? The percent decrease is approximately 40%.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

<h2><em>The percent decrease is approximately 40%. </em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

initial count of fish= 850

final count of fish= 500

Required

% decrease

Step two:

% decrease= final-initial/initial*100

substitute

% decrease= 850-500/850*100

% decrease=350/850*100

% decrease= 0.41*100

% decrease= 40.1%

<em>The percent decrease is approximately 40%. </em>

Which of the following numbers is a Mersenne prime?<br> A: 90<br> B: 27 - 1<br> C: 211 - 1<br> D: 15
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

  B:  2⁷-1 = 127

Step-by-step explanation:

A Mersenne prime is a prime of the form 2^n -1, where n is also a prime.

Among the answer choices, neither 90=2·3²·5 nor 15=3·5 is prime. Both 2⁷-1 = 127 and 2¹¹-1 = 2047 are of the right form, but 2047 = 23·89 is a composite number.

  2⁷-1 = 127 is a Mersenne prime

In the given diagram, what is the measure of ∠ABC of parallelogram ABCD?
nata0808 [166]
<h3>Answer: C) 136 degrees</h3>

The known acute angle of the triangle is 46 degrees, so the unknown acute angle of that triangle is 90-46 = 44 degrees. In other words, the two acute angles of any right triangle must add to 90, so 46+44 = 90.

The 44 degree angle is adjacent to angle ADC, and it adds to angle ADC to form 180 degrees.

If x is the measure of angle ADC, then

44+(angleADC) = 180

44+x = 180

x = 180-44

x = 136

angle ADC = 136 degrees

For any parallelogram, the opposite angles are always congruent. Therefore, angle ABC is equal to angle ADC = 136, making ABC = 136 as well.
