Answer:

The correct answer is D. 126

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this exercise, we need to know that two straight triangles that are sharing a vertex like in this picture are considered similar triangles. One property of the similar triangles is that exist a linear relationship between its sides. In this exercise, one triangle is ABC and the other CDE.

The relationship that we can write is between the length of its sides.

The relationship is a division between the length of the sides :

$\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{CE}{DE}$ ⇒

$\frac{140-x}{81}=\frac{x}{9}$

Solving the equation

$x=\frac{(140-x)}{81}.(9)$

$x=\frac{(140-x)}{9}$

$9x=140-x$

$10x=140$

$x=14$ ⇒

If the side AC is $140-x$ the length is

$140-14=126$

The correct option is D. 126

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-8(2b-7)-9(b-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\=(-8)(2b)+(-8)(-7)+(-9)(b)+(-9)(-5)\\\\=-16b+56-9b+45\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(-16b-9b)+(56+45)\\\\=-25b+101$

It took Priya 5 minutes to fill a cooler with 8 gallons of water from a faucet that was flowing at a steady rate. Let w be the n

zvonat [6]

Complete question is;

It took Priya 5 minutes to fill a cooler with 8 gallons of water from a faucet that was flowing at a steady rate. Let w be the number of gallons of water in the cooler after t minutes. Which of the following equations represent the relationship between w and t? Select all that apply

A) w = 1.6t

B) w = 0.625t

C) t = 1.6w

D) t = 0.625w

Answer:

Option A: w = 1.6t

& Option D: t = 0.625w

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told It took Priya 5 minutes to fill a cooler with 8 gallons of water at a steady rate.

Thus;

Rate of filling = 8 gallons/5 minutes = 1.6 gallons/minutes

Now, we are told that w is the number of gallons of water in the cooler after t minutes.

Thus, to find w, we will multiply the rate by t minutes.

w = 1.6 gallons/minutes × t minutes

w = 1.6t gallons

Or we can write as;

w/1.6 = t gallons

0.625w = t gallons

Therefore, options A & D are correct.

Which frequency table shows the test times (in minutes) for a reading test?

Naily [24]

In case the given numbers are :

81 63 61 58 72 70 79 68 82 64 54 82 72 63 64 76 57 64 73 58

we have :

50-59 , frequency is 4 (58, 54, 57, 58)

60 - 69, frequency is 7 ( 63, 61, 68, 64, 63, 64, 64)

70 - 79, frequency is 6 (72, 70, 79, 72, 76, 73)

80-89, frequency is 3 (81, 82, 82)

So correct option which matches the above data is option second.

Answer is table number two.

How are ASA and AAS used to show that triangles are congruent?

likoan [24]

Answer:

If two pairs of corresponding angles and the side between them are known to be congruent, the triangles are congruent. This shortcut is known as angle-side-angle (ASA). Another shortcut is angle-angle-side (AAS), where two pairs of angles and the non-included side are known to be congruent.
