Answer:

C.

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       20 ft

Using cross products

1*20 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

20/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.67 =x

We can do the same for the other dimension

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       17 ft

Using cross products

1*17 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

17/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.27 =x

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Represent the following expressions as a power of the number a where a≠0.
Step2247 [10]

After using the property of power, the expressions as a power of the number a is (a^3)^{-2} = a^{-6} , (a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{9} and ((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{-8} .

In the given question we have to solve the given expressions as a power of the number a where a≠0.

The first given expression is (a^3)^{-2}.

Using the property of multiplication of power; (a^m)^n=a^{mn}.

Simplifying the expression.

(a^3)^{-2} = a^{3*(-2)}

(a^3)^{-2} = a^{-6}

The second expression is (a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3}

Using the property of multiplication of power; (a^m)^n=a^{mn}.

(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{(-1)\times(-3)}\cdot a^{(-2)\times(-3)}

(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{3}\cdot a^{6}

Using the property of sum of power a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}

(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{(3+6)}

(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{9}

The third expression is ((a^2)^{-2})^2.

Using the property of multiplication of power; (a^m)^n=a^{mn}.

((a^2)^{-2})^2=((a^2)^{(-2)\times2})

((a^2)^{-2})^2=(a^2)^{-4}

Again using the property of multiplication of power; (a^m)^n=a^{mn}.

((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{2\times(-4)}

((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{-8}

A plane traveled 460 mph with the wind and 400 mph against the wind. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of t
Fudgin [204]
Let's say the speed of the plane is "p", and the speed of the wind is "w".

when the plane goes with the wind, is not really going "p" mph fast, is really going "p + w" mph fast, because the wind is adding speed to it.

likewise when the plane is going against the wind, is also not going "p" fast is going "p - w" mph fast.  Therefore,

\bf \begin{cases}
p+w=460\implies \boxed{w}=460-p \\
p-w=400\\
----------\\
p-\left( \boxed{460 - p} \right)=400
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2p-460=400\implies 2p=860\implies p=\cfrac{860}{2}\implies p=430

PLEASE help me graph <br>y=-x-5
Artist 52 [7]
The question already gave you the formula in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). You just need to graph it. Let’s begin with the easy step. The first point is the y-intercept (b) which is -5. Think of it as a point (0,-5), so you input -5 on the y-axis of the graph. After that is the slope, which usually is a fraction symbolizing rise over run. In this case, since the slope is a -x, is is -1 over one, therefore it’s down 1 right 1.
