In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints.
Examples of line segments include the sides of a triangle or square.
More generally, when both of the segment's end points are vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, the line segment is either an edge (of that polygon or polyhedron) if they are adjacent vertices, or otherwise a diagonal. When the end points both lie on a curve such as a circle, a line segment is called a chord (of that curve).
So I think it would be 2
Answer:
I would say the answer is 40 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason I say this is because if you write out the amount of cookies she can make with 6 cups of flour, you would get 30/6. 30 and 6 are both divisible by 6, so if you divided both by 6 you will get 5/1. 1 times 8 is 8, so if you multiply 5 by 8 you will get 40 cookies.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
- A. the distance between points W and X
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Looking for the distance of 5 units</em></u>
A. the distance between points W and X
- -3 - (-8) = -3 + 8 = 5
- Correct
B. the distance between points X and Y
- 1 - (-3) = 1 + 3 = 4 < 5
- Incorrect
C. the distance between points X and Z
- 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8 > 5
- Incorrect
D. the distance between points Y and Z
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
