What is the value of b in the triangle shown below

the price of milk in 2013 was around $3.28 a gallon. This was eight times as much as you would have probably paid for a gallon o

Jlenok [28]

The cost of the milk is $\fbox{\$\,0.41{\text{ a gallon}}}$ in 1950s.

Further explanation:

The price of milk in 2013 was around $\$3.28$ a gallon.

And it is given that this was eight times as much as one can would have probably paid for a gallon of milk in the 1950s.

It is given that the price of milk in 2013 is $\$3.28$ a gallon.

Assume the price of milk in 1950 be $\$x$ a gallon.

Now, given that 8 times of $x$ is the price of milk in 2013.

Therefore, $8x$ is the price of milk in 2013 and also $\$3.28$ is the price of milk in 2013.

Equating $8x$ and $\$3.28$ equal as both are the price of milk in 2013 as,

$\begin{aligned}8x&=3.28\\x&=\frac{{3.28}}{8}\\x&=0.41\\\end{aligned}$

Here, x is the price of milk in 1950.

Therefore, the cost of the milk is $\fbox{\$\,0.41{\text{ a gallon}}}$ in 1950s.

What is the value of y ?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw line segments ST and RQ. Triangle RUQ and SUT are similar, because they are in a circle. Now, you use similar triangles to get that QU/UT=RU/SU so 2 = 12/SU so SU = 6, or y = 6.

Note: This is generealized by the Power of a Point, which states that if you have two chords that intersect, then you can do the same thing and it will show that QU*SU=RU*TU. (You can change the variables but the similar triangles stay the same).

Finding terms of an arithmetic sequence with a recursive formula <br><br>a1 =12 an= an-1+7

Basile [38]

Hey there!!

Recursive formula :

... a( n ) = a ( n - 1 ) + 7

The first term is 12

To find the second term, we will need to substitute 2 in place of ' n '

2 term :

... a( 2 ) = a ( 2 - 1 ) + 7

... a( 2 ) = a( 1 ) + 7

We know a( 1 ) = 12

... a( 2 ) = 12 + 7

... 19 is the second term and we will need to use this to find the other terms.

Hope my answer helps!
