Keith's height and his nephews height was at a ratio of 15:7 then, keith's Height increased by 16% and his nephews height double
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

311.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's call:

k = Keith's height

n = nephew's height

Since the ratio is 15:7, we have

\frac{k}{n}=\frac{15}{7}\\k=\frac{15}{7}n (1)

Then, Keith's height is increased by 16%, so the new height of Keith is

k'=k+0.16 = 1.16k  (2)

While the nephew's height is doubled:

n'=2n (3)

We also know that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew, so

k'=n'+34 (4)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (4), we get

1.16k=2n+34

And substituting (1),

1.16\cdot \frac{15}{7}n=2n+34

Solving for n,

2.49n=2n+34\\\\0.49n=34\\n=\frac{34}{0.49}=69.4

So the current height of the nephew is:

n'=2n=2(69.4)=138.8 cm

While Keith's current height is

k'=138.8+34=172.8 cm

So their total current height is

k'+n'=172.8+138.8=311.6 cm

Show work for this scientific notation
Viktor [21]

\frac{5.1*10^{-2}}{4.57*10^{-4}} \\=\frac{5.1*10^{2}}{4.57} \\=\frac{5.1}{4.57}*10^{2}\\=1.1*10^{2}

The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Polygon MNOPQ is dilated by a scale factor of 0.8 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image M′N′O′P′Q′.
nikdorinn [45]

The new coordinates of the dilated polygon would have coordinates at M'(1.6, 3.2) and N'(3.2, 4).

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Dilation is the increase or decrease in the size of a figure by a scale factor.

Given that Polygon MNOPQ is dilated by a scale factor of 0.8 with the origin. If point M(2, 4) and N(4, 5). The new coordinates would be at M'(1.6, 3.2) and N'(3.2, 4).

The new coordinates of the dilated polygon would have coordinates at M'(1.6, 3.2) and N'(3.2, 4).
