Ms.Henderson is using triangles in her graphic design project.The triangles are isosceles.One had a base of 4 inches and legs of

2 inches.If the other triangle has a base of 9 inches how long are the legs?

If the two triangles are similar you can use a proportion to solve for the length of the legs.
\frac{2}{4}=\frac{x}{9}
Now, you would cross multiply to get 
4x=18
Now, you simplify that using the division property of equality.
You end up with 
x=4.5
Therefore, the legs of the triangle with a base of 9 inches will each be 4.5 units long.

Solve for X and y PLEASE GIVE FULL EXPLANATION HOW YOU GOT IT
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we isolate y in the first equation

2x+y=1

-2x.  -2x

y=1-2x

and now we fill y into second equation

4x-2(1-2x)=6

4x-2+4x=6

8x-2=6

   +2 +2

8x=8

/8 /8

x=1

and now to find y we insert x

2(1)+y=1

2+y=1

-2.   -2

y= -1

hopes this helps

An ice cream shop sells cones at the volume of 94.2 cubic meters they want to double the volume of the cones without changing th
marin [14]
The volume of a cone is V=\pi r^2\frac{h}3 where r = radius and h = height. If the cone has a volume of 94.2 cm³ (I assume you didn't mean m³ because that would be ridiculously huge) and a height of 10 cm, we can plug these values into the formula to find the radius. Don't do any rounding.

94.2 = \pi r^2\frac{10}3 \\ 282.6 = \pi r^2 *10 \\ 28.26 = \pi r^2 \\ 8.99543738355 = r^2 \\ 2.99923946752=r

Now we know that's going to be the radius of our <em>new </em>cone as well since we're keeping the diameter the same. The volume is going to be double 94.2 which is 188.4. Let's solve for the height.

188.4 = \pi (2.99923946752)^2\frac{h}3 \\ 188.4 = \pi(8.99543738355)\frac{h}3 \\ 188.4 = 28.26\frac{h}3 \\ 565.2 = 28.26h \\\\ \boxed{h = 20, r\approx 3}

Determine the coordinates of the point on the unit circle corresponding to the given central angle. If necessary round your resu
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Option A. (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Circle O is a unit circle (having radius r = 1 unit)

If a point A with central angles = θ, is lying on the circle then the coordinates of the point A will be,

x = r.cosθ

x = 1.cosθ = cosθ

and y = r.sinθ

y = 1.sinθ = sinθ

Therefore, coordinates representing the point A will be (cosθ, sinθ).

As per question the given point A is lying at P (a point having central angle θ = 180°)

Coordinates of point P will be

(x', y') → (cos180°, sin180°)

        → (-1, 0)

Therefore, Option A will be the answer.

Aryana wants to invest $43,000. She has two options. Option A gives her 6% compounded quarterly. Option B gives her 6% simple in
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Option A earns higher interest($84115.58)

the difference in interest between the two option is  $197.9

Step-by-step explanation:

 In the problem we are going to apply both the simple interest formula and compound interest formula and compare which has the best/higher returns

Given data

Principal P= $43,000

Rate r= 6%= 0.06

time t= 3years

n= 4 (applicable for compound interest compounded quarterly)

solving for option A gives her 6% compounded quarterly

the compound interest formula is

A= P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^n^t\\A= 43000(1+\frac{0.06}{4} )^{4} ^*^3

A=43000(1+0.015)^{12} \\A=43000(1.015)^{12} \\A=43000*1.1956\\A= 51411.58

Interest is A-P= 51411.58-43000= 8411.58=$8411.58

solving for option B  which gives her 6% simple interest annually

the simple interest formula is

A=P(1+r)^{t} \\A=43000(1+0.06)^3\\A=43000(1.06)^3\\A=43000*1.191\\A= 51213.68

Interest isA-P=51213.68-43000= 8213.68= $8213.68

calculating the diference in interest between the two options we have

8411.58-8213.68= 197.9= $197.9

Option A earns higher interest
